I agree there are many sites out there. However, when you look at the Infographic below you may start to see why you should join! If you own a business it is even more important that you see the benefits of this relatively new and popular site.
Here is one of the reasons I feel Pinterest has become so popular. There are three types of Learning Styles; Visual Learners, Auditory Learners and Kinesthetic Learners (big word for Tactile)!
Did you know that 65% of the population are Visual Learners? Compared to 30% who are Auditory and only 5% are Kinesthetic Learners, according to Learning Styles Assessment-TRIO. Does this have anything to do with its popularity? If so, did Pinterest take this into consideration when creating their site?
I would love to hear why you think Pinterest has become so popular so quickly!

Thanks for this, Lisa. I haven't had any inclination to join Pinterest because I've been concerned about managing all of the various social networks. It's practically a full-time job to keep up with them! No wonder companies hire social media managers. That said, I believe your post has given me the push I need to sign up and broaden my reach!
