I posted a motivational photo on my Facebook business page and received not a single “like” or “share.” I pinned the same image to my brand new Pinterest board and garnered 39 repins in four minutes. Pictures sing and soar on this new visual social media platform like nothing we’ve ever seen.

“Power scrapbooking” is the perfect term to describe Pinterest. The bright new star of social media has in its short lifespan already won the number 3 spot (in terms of traffic) in the social media network wars.

Pinterest currently has more than 10 million regular users, 80% of which are female. The platform is so smoking hot, in fact, that in March alone Pinterest boasted 4 million unique visitors a day. That’s power, indeed.
