Everyone has heard of Facebook and Twitter and how successful they were at gaining members. Now there is a new platform, that may not make it as big, but definitely is interesting.
Pinterest is it's name. It is a new platform of social media that is geared for those who are more visual. Pinterest is like online bulletin boards about the person's interests, inspirations or other things worth mentioning. Nathan Burgess mentions that is a mixture or Flickr and Delicious. Users can fill their bulletins by "pinning" pictures from online or pictures they have created.
Just when you think they have thought of everything, something new comes along. This new platform is definitely interesting to say the least. However, I don't know if it will take off like Twitter and Facebook. In order to post or receive posts, you have to be invited. So it is not exactly easy to begin on your own. Maybe if more words get out there and advertising goes well then this can become the new fad, but for now, I think Facebook and Twitter will be in use for a while.
