Pinterest - Social Commerce Game Changer?

Looking through my "pinterest", I thought this was interesting...



Pinterest is a new "blog type/social media" website, where one can bookmark the things they would like to remember to do. It's almost like a TO DO or Wish List, but easy to access online. Many people use Pinterest to plan weddings, remodel their homes, find new recipies, etc. Basically, anything you can think of, you can find it on pinterest. Pinterest is driving more consumers than google+ (which is kind of like a new type of facebook, but found on your google account). Many companies and marketers are using pinterest to gain followers and new ideas for their industry. I think pinterest could possibly be a new marketing strategy, if used correctly. It drives consumers towards products, and helps promote new products. 

This poster (above) just has some interesting facts and is put together nicely, and brings being "social" online to the next level.
