Pinterest.com, A social network organized by interests
March 28th, 2012 | by Alexandre Chapoutot
Pinterest, the new year’s hit is a social network known for sharing beautiful pictures organized by themes on a personnal wall. A virtual patchwork, the concept is a hit, and is going above all expectations. Over 20 million users have registered, where will stop Pinterest. With 4000% traffic increase in six months, neither Twitter, or Facebook had done such a good start. Users make up their visual patchwork pinning content related to their interests. Comments are possible and interaction between members are possible. The links between users are made by common interest unlike other social network like Facebook or Linkedin which are more friend or professional oriented. The idea is to present travel destination pictures of places you would dream to go to rather than postingthe last picture of your stay in the Maldives
