Oh, there is interest in Pinterest, the visual social sharing site. But is the site that, in its first month, became the #1 source for referring web traffic (over Google+, Reddit, and LinkedIn combined) a “colossal waste of time,” and “only good as a platform for scrap-booking,” or will its “stellar design” help it keep moving it into the #2 social site? A few interesting findings to make you sound smarter at the water-cooler: The conversation is US-centric – Over 60% of you talking about Pinterest live in the US.

While the US tends to be more chatty in general, this number is very high, which means that in the US, we love to talk about Pinterest. The overall view of Pinterest hasn’t waned – Most sites tend to have “their day in the sun” and then we lose interest. We reviewed the over 5M impressions from online conversations including more than 2.5M mentions of Pinterest in blogs, news articles, social networks. Are Tablets Taking Over? When Apple launched the iPad in 2010, it was a huge success.

Without many comparable competitors, the iPad enjoyed a large slice of market share for many months. Recently, the tablet market has widened a bit with the release of Amazon’s new Kindle Fire: analysts are seeing a drop in Apple’s share of the tablet market. In a study from September last year, ComScore found that 75% of tablet owners accessed email on their device that month and 35% read email almost every day. Blackberry also announced support for email on its PlayBook tablet just today.

The email app will incorporate feeds from social media sties such as Twitter and LinkedIn, creating a “social hub.” As more low-cost tablets enter the market, I’m eager to see how email behavior is shaped by tablet ownership and apps that further blur the lines between messaging sources.

The Next Big Trend in Social Commerce? [Infographics.

What’s next for social commerce? We’ve seen the rise of collective buying power with the group-buy trend, and we’ve seen the commercialisation of social networks – both selling on them, and integrating them into the retail experience. There’ll certainly be more of the same, evermore sophisticated – whether it’s fan-stores on social networks, the portable social graph in retail environments, or the evolution of group-buy beyond daily-deal brokers. But two other trends are increasingly coming up in conversations with industry experts; subscription-based models in commerce (think birchbox, glossybox), andthe sharing economy (think collaborative consumption – again…) We’re putting some thoughts together on subscription-based models, we think it going to be big, particularly subscriptions for fans – but here are three thought-provoking infographics on the sharing economy.

I'm on my Twitter account for a majority of the day and access it through Tweetdeck, a client that lives on my desktop. It's been days since I last navigated to the actual Twitter website; I usually only visit when I want to search for a specific user. But we all use Twitter differently. Aware of that, Lab42 surveyed 500 people to assemble a bigger picture of how Twitter is used.

The results of that survey are presented in the infographic embedded below. Infographics are always a bit of a hodgepodge of statistics culled from a variety of sources. More than one-third of those surveyed said that they access Twitter multiple times a day. Check out more Infographics on the Technology Channel.
