Time Magazine named Pinterest in its ”50 Best Websites of 2011″ column back in August 2011. The power of Pinterest, compared to other social networking sites, is that it shows the capacity of communication through pictures. After all, “a picture’s worth a thousand words”. Right?

While some social media sites take a while to catch on, the same is not so for Pinterest. Pinterest launched in March 2010 and quickly became the new craze of the internet. Women were particularly drawn to the site, with over 97% of the membership base being female; however, more males are beginning to succumb to its draw as well. As of today, Pinterest is valued at over $500 million with an estimated 17.8 million registered members. Talk about blowing up!
