Fast Company just launched their October 2012 magazine with a fun cover-story article on Pinterest entitled The Power of Pinterest, and I can’t help but be happy that they chose a similar name to my book – Pinterest Power. The article is a great overview of the journey of Pinterest, and the founder’s story.
Let me re-cap a few of the highlights from the article…
- Pinterest is revolutionizing social commerce because searching elegantly for gifts is great on Pinterest, and bad on Google or Amazon. The bottomline – Pinterest is an e-commerce powerhouse.
- Pinterest is the fastest growing site in the history of the internet. Of course this is not new news, but the article reinforces it.
- Pinterest is gearing up to monetize. Sounds like they’ve got a basic plan figured out, and they are beginning to work toward it, but they aren’t in a hurry to get it wrong. I hope they listen to my advice and create a reverse auction model for retailers, as outlined in my article entitled The Adpins Platform.
- Companies are regularly paying top Pinterest users to pin items from their e-commerce sites – because the traffic is massive and worth the cost.
There is lot’s more beyond these ideas…
