If you know anything about Social Media than chances are you would have heard about Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or LinkedIn. People get really excited about the number of likes, followers, +1s and shares. But there’s a new platform called Pinterest which has a unique concept and is lately gaining popularity and traction in the US.
