This piece was written by Jason Heath for Socialfresh "The latest Pinterest referral traffic data reveals that Pinterest drives more referral traffic than YouTube, LinkedIn and Google+ combined". That is pretty significant for a social network that most marketers still do not even know exists. And yes, they are still an invite only community. This data does not include EVERY referral source out there on the web. But it does put Pinterest into context compared to other major social sites. And it can give anyone doing business online a good sense of where strong referral opportunities might exist for their business. The Highlights of the Data Here are a few key takeaways from the Shareaholic findings: Selected and curated by maxOZ covering "Pinterest Watch" Read full article here: [http://bit.ly/AssEyf] Via janlgordon Delete the scoop?

Yesterday I selected a post by Elad Gil who talked about Pinterest being the next big shiney thing on the web. Today I have selected another article by Don Reisinger for Cnet News - digital home, who has more to say about this.
I do admit I'm participating on many betas because I feel the need to stay informed. I'm not usually drawn to every new thing that comes along but somehow, Pinterest has caught my eye.
Let's take a look at why Pinterest is becoming one of the most popular social networks, what's really happening here?
Here's what caught my attention:
**Pinterest so far has been the only company to distinguish itself. Late last month, Experian Hitwise, a company that monitors consumer behavior on the Web, reported that Pinterest had 11 million visits during the week ended December 17, jumping 4,000 percent compared with six months earlier.
**The massive bump catapulted Pinterest to the 10th spot in Experian's listing of the most popular social networks, just behind Yelp. Experian also discovered that Pinterest has found a loyal following in women.
**In the past three months, women have accounted for 58 percent of its userbase, and nearly 60 percent of those women are between the ages of 25 and 44.
**Opinions are mixed over why Pinterest has been able to attract such a large audience.
**Is it the service's solid design? Is it the attention it has received from media outlets shocked by its growth?
**Is it, perhaps, the fact that it recently raised $26 million from venture-capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, giving it bundles of cash to play with? It could be all that.
**But Gil thinks it might also have something to do with its ease-of-use.
**"Pinterest was one of the first sites to take push button content generation (via bookmarklets and 're-pinning') and structure it into sets of curated content called 'boards
**This allowed users to collect content from across the Web, as well as from other users on the site.
Reisinger ends his article with a word of caution:
**"Pinterest has yet to offer its service publicly. And once it finally moves beyond its invite-only phase, the company will be truly tested."
Followed by the question:
**"will the mainstream Web user who typically joins the social game after early adopters pick up their invites, find value in it?"
** Chances are, we'll get the answers to those questions later this year.

This piece was written by Jeff Turner, it makes you STOP and think. Pinterest is the latest new shiny thing but as Jeff says, buyer beware. His insights are right on the money. He asks us to know the enviornment before we start posting and promoting. Here's an excerpt: The Pinterest Stream And Fools Gold Avoid Self Promotion: "Pinterest is designed to curate and share things you love. If there is a photo or project you’re proud of, pin away! However, try not to use Pinterest purely as a tool for self-promotion". Here are the takeaways: My advice here is going to be the same advice I give people in any new social network... go have some fun first. **Be social. Get to know the community, the lay of the land. The rest will sort itself out. **The first thing that happens when the real estate community for example, "discovers" a new social media site is they focus on the media, not the social. This is a mistake. It leads to mining in the wrong streams.
