The hottest new social site!
Everyone's buzzing about Pinterest, a rapidly growing social site that's all about creating and sharing collections of images that you find around the Web or create yourself.
Why Pinterest Matters
In early 2012, Pinterest is getting nearly 12 million monthly unique visitors, and Shareaholic says that Pinterest is driving more referral traffic to websites than Google Plus, LinkedIn and YouTube combined. (Referral traffic means visitors who land on a website through a link from another site.)
What is Pinterest?
The site is basically a giant online bulletin board that people "pin" images to. As a user, you create "boards" geared to different topics or interests. As you're cruising around the Web, you see an image that you'd like to share with others and you "pin" it to one of your "boards." When someone clicks on the image, they will see a description of the image and they can be directed back to the website that the image came from.
