Josh: You have made a strong case for a future service with a mix of Pinterest and RebelMouse. I wonder when RebelMouse will have a search feature. I use Pinterest as a bookmarking place, remembering and saving stuff for future use.

Or Pinterest might already be heading in that direction http://www.marketingpilgrim.com/2013/09/dont-just-look-at-the-pictures-pinterest-invites-you-to-read-this.html

It might be more likely to see something like this come from Feedly. They already have the ability to save articles and tag them in different ways as well as visual ways of displaying the content. If they added ways to share and follow others tags/bookmarks it'd pretty much be a pinterest for content. Who knows who will get there first though.

Josh: I think you are onto something there with a combo of text and images. Have you checked out a service called RebelMouse?

I was just looking at it the other day but haven't tried it yet. It definitely seems to be moving in the right direction. I think what is so good about Pinterest though is that it is an organizational tool which people can and do use it to save resources that they come back to. This is why it drives way more traffic then twitter or Facebook, in general you post a status on there and it's lost in the stream, where pins seem to get recurring traffic for a long long time. I'd like to see a cross between rebelmouse and pinterest.

Josh: Very impressive traffic stats! Do you think that Pinterest will continue to be so popular in say 5 years from now?

It's hard to say, I do see a trend toward visually stimulating media, instead of textual content in terms of sharing. I see this a lot with things like instagram and vine seeming to take off out the blue. I think text will always be important though. Perhaps the next big thing will be an easy way to combine text and images in a meaningful way.

Pinterest is really a very good place to be as far as traffic is concern. It is becoming one of the fastest growing social networking and photo sharing sites on the internet and as thus, many people are using it to drive enormous traffic to their sites. Thanks for sharing this with the bizsugar community.

I absolutely agree. I find that it's popularity is growing so fast many sites get more traffic from Pinterest then other networks even when they have no intentional presence there.
