Three months ago, Craig Schuster was at home when he noticed what
appeared to be a visually interesting clothes-shopping site on his
wife’s computer screen. She told him it was actually a relatively new
social-networking site called Pinterest, something of a cross between Facebook and Twitter that focuses on sharing images rather than text snippets or personal photos.Mr. Schuster, who happens to be the Web manager of a cleaning-equipment business called Equipment Trade Service Company,
played around with Pinterest a bit. The next morning he told his boss,
David Hart, the company’s owner, that they needed to be there. Mr. Hart
got it right away and soon the company, which is based in Philadelphia
and has 23 employees, had its own Pinterest presence.
“Our customers want to see good product pictures before they pull out
that credit card,” he said. “Pinterest is great for that.” As many are discovering, Pinterest offers an interesting twist on
other social networks. Users set up a “board,” which typically has a
theme, be it gardening or fast cars. To fill your board, you “pin” Web
site images onto it. Whenever you come across an image on the Web that
you’d like to add to your board, you click on an icon you have installed
on your browser, and voila, the image appears on your board (you can
have more than one). And, as with Twitter, people can “follow” any or
all of your boards and get updates whenever you pin something. And of
course the service has various means for helping people find new boards
they might find interesting, or share those they appreciate.
