Pinterest hits 10 millon users

Well, another social media site is taking the world by storm. This time it’s Pinterest, and it’s generating business press because of phenomenal growth in site visitation. As reported in Tech Crunch, 10 million unique users in the US are using it monthly and it has grown faster than any standalone site in history.
What is Pinterest?
Pinterest is a vision board-styled social photo sharing website especially popular among women. The website and app allow users to create and manage theme-based image collections.
The site’s mission statement is to “connect everyone in the world through the ‘things’ they find interesting.” Pinterest is managed by Cold Brew Labs, a team based in Palo Alto, California.
Imagine a pin board that you have in your office or home where you stick little bits and pieces of information. Well, that’s Pinterest in an online space. You create a pin board and share it with others to view, add and comment.
Capturing the imagination of users seems to be Pinterest’s application of visuals to communicate; whereas Facebook and Google+ rely on text-based updates and sharing, Pinterest is like swapping football cards or holiday pictures. But that’s not why I am writing this post.

What is interesting about the difference in platforms G+ & Pinterest is G+ is a predominant male user base, and Pinterest is female. What I observe about G+ is it’s not as engaged as platforms where the user base is a strong female base.
