Why is Pinterest so popular? It’s easy to use, it’s functionality is simple and visual. The new Microsoft Phone has tiles, very similar to the boards on Pinterest. This platform is off to a wildly successful start, and the big difference is that retailers are generating sales. Facebook for the most part has not succeeded in generating eCommerce for their users.
Predict the Facebook will integrate many of the features found on Pinterest.
Pinterest users spend an average of 98 minutes on the platform over (4) four weeks. Facebook users over the same time period spend (7) seven hours.
Images and comments are what Pinterest is all about. Eighty percent (80%)of pins on Pinterest are re-pinned. Only (1.4) percent of tweets are re-tweeted!
