Twitter and Pinterest

Twitter has been the It social media site of the internet for roughly the past two years. When Twitter arrived on the scene there was little competition in the way of social networks. There was Facebook of course and while they were dominating in what they did (and still do) the niche that they fill is more of a online gathering place of people to share photos and have conversations with one another. While Twitter is slightly similar the way that it is set up and its uniqueness are what have allowed it to beome so popular.
Twitter has basically been on the top, or at least top two of all social media for the last two years. And we all know that two years is an eternity for social media, and in fact, all online web presences. But the times, they are a changin! There is a new network in town and it is challenging the reign of the little blue bird. That network, and the surprising way that it is competing , make up the rest of the topic of this article. You know the new kid on the block, and if you don't (pardon my rhyme) you're living under a rock. The network is, of course..Pinterest.
Pinterest and Twitter
Pinterest is a photo sharing site very similar to that of Flickr. What makes Pinterest different? I believe that it is the option to follow others and also follow their feeds. It is somewhat of a combination of Flickr and Twitter. Pinterest has really blown up over the last few months, and may be making the fellows and the ladies at TWitter just a bit nervous. It would take a vast power and millions upon millions abandoning Twitter completely for Pinterest to really cause any harm to the social media giant. I see this as extremely unlikely; however, you just never know in the social media scene.
The fact is that there is no way to predict whether one, neither, or both of these are going to be around for the long haul. The best thing for you to do as an aspiring search engine dominating webmaster, is to use to their absolute fullest potential. Twitter has withstood the test of time and not missed a beat. In fact it only appears to be getting stronger. Pinterest is new but is rising quickly in popularity, much the same way that Twitter did a few years ago. Hitch your wagons to both of these as much as possible, you could always use the exposure and you never know how domination in one can shoot your site or business straight to the top until you find out firsthand.
