The (F)Utility Of Pinterest EngagementFebruary 4, 2013 by Brand AlgorithmsA. Pinterest, The Social Media PlatformPinterest is a visuals-focused social networking site that allows users to share photographs, videos, and other visual content among themselves. Pinterest describes itself as an online pinboard, and the site is organized, Facebook-style, as pages (each user owning a page); with a page consisting of boards (the equivalent of photo-albums or video collections), each created around a theme; and each board consisting of visual items (the equivalent of photographs, videos, visuals, etc.), referred to as pins.Users can pin visuals from anywhere on or outside the web, to their boards; repin images, that interest them, from other pages/boards; and like or comment on pins on other user pages/boards. Users can follow other users (pages) and boards, as well as be followed by other users. The thematic focus of a board means that each board needs to be carefully curated by the user, with themes ranging from products to lifestyles to hobbies to concepts.

Finally, Pinterest users show greater purchase intent and action: 25% of the users have purchased items seen on Pinterest, and Pinterest users are twice as likely to make a purchase as Facebook users.

batiservis I and also my guys happened to be reviewing the great points located on your web site then the sudden I had an awful suspicion I never thanked the web site owner for those tips.

Appreciation for simply being well considerate as well as for finding such superior information millions of individuals are really wanting to discover. My very own sincere regret for not saying thanks to sooner.
