Pinterest

As of recently, Pinterest is beginning to play a huge roll in the retail marketplace for businesses! Pinterest is a place for consumers to find things they like in a "catalog" online and link it directly back to the producers website. It is a very visually pleasing site, because its not just one kind of product unless you search for one product specifically. 

This is becoming a place for businesses to focus their social media efforts and push their products the the front of their customer's vision. 

The consumer behavior aspect really is interesting, when someone finds a product that they like, their first idea is How much? and where do I get it? Pinterest gives consumers the answer they want! 

Visually pleasing images are what determines the number of pins and how much interest there is in the product. 

my only thought it, How long will it last? whats going to take its place? I wonder how the people behind Pinterest would answer that.
