Pinterest 2012

Pinterest is a photo sharing social media website that allows users to organize images and other media they find on the web by creating and sharing pinboards. Users can upload photos and videos to pinboards, repin content from others, and follow other users to see their shared pins. Pinterest has grown rapidly due to its simple and easy design, low maintenance requirements for brands, strong sharing features, and potential for social commerce sales. Clipboard is a similar site to Pinterest but allows saving of text, entire web pages, and public or private sharing of content.
