According to Tyrell Marketing, in January 2012, Pinterest had 11.7 million unique visitors. Pinterest is a simple tool where you can search and find what you need easily. One downfall is you have to request to be a part of it, but this is no problem as they will accept within a few days. It can be challenging to use for businesses as the competition is so thick. Pinterest forces one to link to other accounts including Facebook or Twitter (Tyrrell). Crimson designs reports a few positives are every image is hyperlinked to the original site, you don't have to leave comments, and one can message pins to specific users. A few downfalls of Pinterest are the specific audience is mainly women and the image quality must be high which can be difficult for some companies (Crimson Designs).
Pinterest is one of my favorite past times. I have boards for just about everything. For this activity I focused on social media marketing. I found two particular infographics that interested me. The first has some tips for improving your social media as a business. I particularly like the second one because it uses the same topic, coffee, and shows how it would be posted on each social media site.
Pinterest is a great site for visual learners. I love it because it doesn't feel like I am just reading a book or an article but using the infographics makes it more fun and engaging.

Like you I like Pinterest and have boards for many things! I really like your second infographic, such a clever and simple way of explaining the different types of social media available. A good find Beth! :)
