Тhe analytic company Experian Hitwise stated that Pinterest, a relatively young social network, is on the third place in popularity, right behind the giants Facebook and Twitter.
1. Facebook: 7 billion
2. Twitter: 182 million
3. Pinterest: 104 million
4. LinkedIn: 86 million
5. Tagged: 72 million
6. + Google: 61 million
7. Instagram: 10.2 million
8. Foursquare: 2.9 million.
ComScore, however, according to Mashable, doesn't put Pinterest in the fifty most popular sites in February, although LinkedIn is on the list. This company measures the unique visitors, not all visits, so LinkedIn in February had 36 million visitors.
Pinterest works like this. You create boards, and within these categories you can put photos, messages, links and other content that is normally found on social networks. You "pint" your posts in thecategory you want.
So I opened a Pinterest acount, and I'll give it a try.
