On The Trek to Number One

Reasons Why Pinterest Is On Its Way To The Top

• Not only is Pinterest the 3rd most popular social media site in the United States, but it is taking the world by surprise. Countries around the world are utilizing Pinterest and all of it's value. In order to become #1 Pinterest has created a site that not only satisfies American's urge to pin beautiful creations, tasty treats, and the latest fashion trends, but to satisfy this urge for people across the world. 

• Pinterest hit 11.7 million unique monthly U.S. visitors faster than any other website in history. This number is off the charts crazy. If a site can draw that many people to it, it must be something pretty darn special.

• Pinterest has 70 million users and counting.                                               That's right, 70 million. The key words are and counting. The number of Pinterest users is continually on the rise. 

• It's just a baby.                                                                                   Pinterest was established in March 2010. This website barely has 
its walking legs, let alone its running legs. Give it a couples years, maybe even a couple more months, and Pinterest will be on top. 

• There is so much to pin. There will never be enough pins in the world to make people stop pinning. New content is added everyday by users around the world. Having user content added is what makes Pinterest so easy to love. The pins are up to date, trendy and always evolving, and this is what keeps users coming back everyday for more and more. 

• To be #1 you have to think like #1. Pinterest is always updating, creating new apps, and adding new features. Pinners will never cease to be amazed by the out pour of technology from the Pinterest team. For example, the new pin feature for touch screen devices. By holding a finger down on a pin a pinner is given three options pin it, like it, or send it.

Not only is Pinterest a site that I love (obviously) but millions and millions of others enjoy it as well. Being in third place isn't too bad, but it could be better. And it will be better. Given the amount of time that Pinterest has been in commission, I'd say they've done a pretty good job increasing awareness, the amount of users, how user friendly the site is,  as well as the over all experience of pinning on Pinterest. 

There is no stopping Pinterest now. It is on the mighty trek to be #1.
