With so many social media sites out there, how do you know Pinterest will be around for the long haul? Well thanks to some research, analyst say Pinterest will be around for quite some time. Pinterest lies within the technology trigger and peak stages of the hype cycle. Although past websites have had the ability to share pictures and the ability to share them through your specific friends likes, Pinterest goes beyond what has been previously offered. It allows you to go to other websites to find photos that may inspire you and share them with others, but also to tag it for future reference and use. . I believe it falls on the upper part of the trigger moving towards the peak of expected inflation mainly due to its intense and quick expansion. With the selection in followers through invite only the peak of expectation is within the next year or so.
