Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard about Pinterest by now. If you haven’t, here’s a quick primer – Pinterest is the visual “discovery tool” that has 70 million users worldwide (as of July 2013) hooked for hours looking for decorating ideas, finding new recipes, or perusing DIY crafts. In a rapidly growing visual world, Pinterest has quickly become a popular platform for searching and bookmarking ideas using images. With IPO rumors swirling, the company is currently valued at $5 billion and is especially popular with women, who reportedly account for 83% of users.
So today we are announcing that TINA.org has decided to get on the bandwagon and join the popular social media platform. Make sure to check out our Pinterest page with some great boards like phony Dr. Oz ads, great quotes and consumer information tips.
