Anyone heard of Pinterest?

There is always something new unfolding in social media land.  Has anyone heard of Pinterest?  What is it about?  As a Direct Marketing Consultant, I am always amazed by all the new ideas that are constantly being churned online!  Today’s new idea has actually been around for a while.  I guess I have not been paying attention.  That’s why email marketing helps to get the word out!

So what is Pinterest and why all the interest?  ;-)   I decided to do some research to see what it is all about.  Here is what I found:

Here is an article from Entrepreneur magazine titled, “How Pinerest is Becoming the Next Big Thing in Social Media for Business.”  The article confirms that Pinerest has been around since 2010 and has grown to over 7 million unique visitors from just under 2 million in September.  Pinerest is an image sharing platform that allows you to categorize the images and engage around the images rather than simply sharing them.

Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Pinerest:  one highlight is that Time magazine included Pinerest as one of the 50 best websites of 2011 – great PR!  In Jan 2012, the site had nearly 12 million unique visitors, making it the fastest website in history to pass the 10 million unique visitor mark.

Although I have a fairly strong fundraising background, I had never bought a list previously, and certainly not from a broker I found on the internet. I just wanted to let you know that I was pleased and impressed by the advice that Grant gave us. He guided me to the lists that seemed most appropriate and always answered my questions promptly and courteously. — Judith Bernstein, Hospice Partners of the Central Coast, San Luis Obispo CA | http://www.hospicepartners.org/hpotcc/index.html

The first list I purchased from Grant contained approximately double the list count of the other lists I had shopped for. I expected the list to cost more, but the cost was actually less!! I shopped around for lists from a lot of companies; none of them even came close to Pinnacle Lists — John Wahl, Humphrey & Pace, Benefit Planning, Inc., Medford, OR | http://hp-benefits.com/
