Posted by Abid Ilahi on Thu, Feb 23, 2012 @ 12:40 AM
You may have recently heard of Pinterest and wondered what it is. Pinterest is a hot new social network that grew 429% from September to December 2011 and now is ahead of big names such as LinkedIn, YouTube and Google+. CNN ran a glowing story on Pinterest today and this will send many more first time visitors to it.
Pinterest is fast becoming the most important source of inspiration for interior designers and decorator rugs.
Members "Pin" images of interiors on "Boards" organized under different categories. Visitors to Pinterest view boards and vote for images by clicking "like". They can also select images for re-pinning to their own boards. Each time an image is re-pinned it carries the name of the original board from which it was copied, thereby giving it credit. A re-pin is the highest compliment an image can get.

Pinterest provides a unique insight into the changing tastes in interiors and decorator rugs. By looking at which interiors and decorator rugs get a high number of likes and re-pins, you can get a quick sense of what are the most popular styles, looks and colors among Pinterest members.
