13 Fun Facts About Pinterest Users (INFOGRAPHIC)
Though it launched nearly two years ago , Pinterest has recently taken the internet by storm with its clean, image-heavy interface and fresh take on social networking. The pinboard-style, taste-sharing website recently hit 10 million unique monthly views faster than any standalone site in U.S. history. The image "pinning" model, on which Pinterest is based, has already spawned nearly a dozen look-alike sites that focus on everything from Jeremy Lin to pornography. But who exactly are the users who have brought Pinterest so quickly to the top of the social heap, and how are they putting the site to use?
Ever find yourself in the rabbit hole of the internet, bookmarking and screengrabbing things you want to buy or images that inspire you? Well, judging from Pinterest's hockey-stick growth , you're not alone in your digital collecting and curating.

In October, the site surpassed 421 million pageviews , which means that each of its 3 million users are spending quite a bit of time there, pinning and organizing images to help them plan their weddings, decorate their (oftentimes, dream) homes, create bucket lists and manage an inventory of favorite images — no small feat on the ever-growing web.

As a virtual hunter and gatherer, you spot something on the Internet you’d like to share, “pin” it to one of your bulletin boards, and then the related photograph and site link appear on the Pinterest home page for others to see.
