Are you still using Google for exploring more ideas? Do you still rely on existing social networking sites such as Facebook, Viber, Instagram, Whatsapp, Skype, Snapchat for sharing your own ideas with others and receiving ideas from others? If the answer is YES then you should go for Pinterest where you can search, share, apply and gain new and different ideas. Well, in that case, Pinterest helps both users and businesses to discover things that they love to do, try other ideas and share their own ideas with others.

Pinterest is viewed as a social media marketing tool for businesses and a social network of people. As a social media marketing tool, it allows businesses to visually share their offers and attract customers by posting photos and videos. As a social network, it allows users to interact with each other through likes, comments, re-save each other’s posts and private messages.

Pinterest provides a platform for users to visually share their likes and interests by uploading images or videos to their own or others’ boards.
