Pinterest Rebuild Aims for Global Domination

I once described Pinterest as a visual pinboard. Four years later, Pinterest has outgrown that cute and crafty term. They’ve graduated from being a recipe repository for soccer moms to an analytics-rich platform on which brands can build communities. And their success shows in their valuation — between May 2012 and June 2015, Pinterest’s estimated worth grew from a tidy $1.5 billion...

Getting to Know Pinterest’s Guided Search

I like Pinterest just fine, but one of my biggest complaints to date has been the near-uselessness of the search function.

What are People Doing on Pinterest?

Building a brand presence on social networks isn’t about jumping on the trend bandwagon. There’s no point in using Instagram or Twitter, after all, if that’s not where your customers are.

Better pins with Pinterest. One of the cool things about Pinterest is the ability to save everything in one place.

Facebook versus Pinterest: Who’s Winning the Battle for Retail Dollars?

Honestly, I get a little tired of the constant pitting of one social media network against another. You know the drill: Facebook versus Twitter! Google versus Facebook!
