Pinterest for Business and Fun

You may have heard a lot of buzz about this new social media site called Pinterest. Many magazines says it is the new white hot advertising tool. You may also read that the biggest users of Pinterest are women. Well I am here to tell you, you are mostly right in believing what you hear. Pinterest is the newest photo sharing and repining site out there. I started using it for a trial a couple of months ago and now I am hooked. It's not the same as Facebook or Twitter. It's more simple and yet almost more fun. Pinterest allows you to add photo's to a digital pin board online. You can see and re-pin other peoples pins. You organized your pins into boards that can include direct uploaded photo's and links to photo's on websites.


     For industry users this is a great way to share photo's with clients. All items on Pinterest are searchable and key word tagged to how you describe your pin. I would suggest to anyone get on Pinterest and see what happens. I am suprised by how many strange things I throw on my pin board get liked and re-pinned. Ask me for an invite and I will send you one. What ever you do, don't let Pinterest pass you by.
