Pinterest - New Social Media?

Pinterest is the latest social media network since Google+. As an entrepreneur you might be wondering two things: What is it, and how can I use it to help my business grow? Honestly, no one knows how this is going to go. There’s specul...ation in this video that it may not do much for your business …. That it’s essentially a “toy” for little old ladies in the Midwest who are scrapbooking, and that it serves no purpose to business.

BUT, we’ve had our Pinterest page up for only 2 weeks, have very little on it right now, and already have followers. I would say the jury’s still out on this one. If you’re an artist for example, and you post an image or two of your work, and then an image that advertises your art/sculpture/poetry or whatever web site, will you find visitors coming from Pinterest? What have you to lose in giving it a try?
