Is Pinterest's Popularity Due to Science?

Those of you not on Pinterest may be asking, since there are so many other Social Networking and Bookmarking sites already, why should I join Pinterest?

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!

Six Degrees of Separation: Mentionmapp & Twitter

Image via Wikipedia

Everything about Blogging and Social Media fascinates me. Not only the relationships we establish but also the new tools and gadgets created, what seems like everyday! Today I was introduced to another one by my Twitter friend, Abel.

The tool, is called Mentionmapp. It reminded me of Six Degrees of Separation. If you haven't heard of this term, according to Wikipedia, "refers to the idea that everyone is on average approximately six steps away, by way of introduction, from any other person on Earth." Which of course includes Twitter too!!

Visit and read Abel's post about Mentionmapp on his website, AIGEN Digital Marketing. See who is connected to him, who are his "opinion leaders" and how do their messages connect and interrelate with each other.

Therefore, I will not go into detail on how to create your own. It is super easy! Just enter your Twitter handle and it will create a map from your most recent tweets, of who is connected to you along with your Hashtags!

I would love to hear who you are connected to and who is in your Twitter Community!

Toe Tapping Fun for the Entire Family!

Here is a great review and Giveaway by Michelle from Powered by Mom! The Giveaway starts Saturday February 18th! Have fun!

I was very excited when I was selected to do the review for Farmer Jason, Nature Jams. I love music and like most people I have my favorite bands and genres. However when you grow up with a musician for a father you have no choice but to listen to all types of music, thank goodness. My father played and loved classical, blues and Jazz of which I complained about as a child but it must have sunk in somewhere because as an adult I love it all.

The best way to instill a love of music in children is to capture their attention first and keep it there. What better way than with songs and music you find yourself humming and tapping your toes too!

Top Ten #Triberr Tuesday-Month 2

I enjoy recognizing my Top Ten Traffic Driving Tribemates on Triberr each month. Now that is a tongue twister! One of the benefits I receive is that I learn so much about them while preparing for this monthly series!

This month is almost becoming the Top Ten Triberr Thursday due to a very cranky computer! So hopefully it will go out on Tuesday as originally planned. At least I hope so!

Triberr offers a tool for their users to see who are the top traffic driving members in the month. As you can see it isn't only about the number of followers, I have listed these in order. I am not familiar with or will try to guess which algorithms are used to get this data! You are welcome to ask Dino Dogan and Dan Cristo, the founders of Triberr for that information!

However, part of the equation must be whatever niche I am writing to on a particular blog post, these members have an audience that are reading them. Well at least clicking on them! By looking at my bounce rates, I don't think all of them are actually reading the entire post! So this will be an area that I will be working on.

I have added links to their websites and other Social Media venues. So please take the time to at least follow these great Tweeters!

Many thanks to all of you who made it on the list this month!
