Pinterest is booming — and, as a result, the social media site is now a key aspect of many companies’ online strategies.
According to Crispin Sheridan, reporting for ClickZ: “The new ‘it girl’ in Hollywood may be Jennifer Lawrence, but in the online world it’s Pinterest. The image content sharing service just raised $200 million at a $2.5 billion valuation and is successfully being leveraged by several online retailers and large brands.

Although the new devices might seem to present an array of opportunity for Time Inc.’s 95 magazine titles, many publishers have found the digital transition troublesome. Digital editions of magazines represented just 2.4 percent of all U.S. circulation in the last half of 2012, or about 7.9 million copies, according to the Alliance for Audited Media.”
