Lorna: How do you use Pinterest for research? I bookmark interesting posts on social media with great visuals / illustrations.

Lorna: You are hitting the nail (pin?;) on the head with your question. Do you think that Pinterest will be your daily reading in 2013. I use it more of a memory board for stuff that I like, want to purchase in the future, potential wishlist for my friends, etc.

Hi Martin, apologies for delay replying. Yes, I use pinterest for inspiration/wishlist stuff too but I also use it for research and for bookmarking good social media articles I find amongst other subjects.

My mom uses pinterest for home decor ideas. I think pinterest is fast becoming an awesome social network for businesses related to these kind of niches. I do wonder how they would monetize aside from skimlinks.

Lorna: Do you think that Contributor Boards could evolve into micro sites, similar to a blog with guest writers or a specialized forum with members posting entries?

Hi Martin, it'll be interesting to see how Pinterest evolves. It will be good to see individual pinners using contributor boards creatively. I do wonder though how often people check out pins that are pinned to the shared boards if they aren't actually on pinterest at the time, ie when they just get the email alert. I wonder how 'shared' they really are if you know what I mean as the commenting facility is still underused.

Hi Lorna,

Great tips. Pinterest has become a serious social media tool, especially for entrepreneurs. It's also likely to continue being important to anyone doing Internet marketing heading into 2013. Thanks so much for sharing this post with the BizSugar community. I'm curious how you see Pinterest stacking up with other channels: Facebook, Twitter etc. as we move into the New Year.

Hi Heather, I think it will be interesting to watch. For anyone selling online products, Pinterest will be big. It'll be interesting to see how useful it is for other business types
