Since January Pinterest had 11.7 Million visitors and it is still growing, however companies don’t seem to be noticing this, despite that, Pinterest has join to amazon zappos since august, where it links articles that you have pin from pinterest to your buying recommendations and not just from your personal pins but also from other Pinterest users. I think this is a new way of doing online shopping in a clearer and more interesting way, and it feels more rewarding knowing that you can buy all of the fabulous articles on Pinterest.   As Will Young putted “When we talk to people and ask what they think is the best social-shopping experience, they say Pinterest, and it’s not even a retailer.” It’s true there you can find so many options and the good thing is that they have the outfits so you don’t have to worry in if ill match with this or that. However the revenue from Pinterest compare to Facebook and Tweeter have been the lowest even thought the amount of share articles in Pinterest is bigger than the other two mediums, the problem is that if a user with even 100,000 followers pins a shirt on “things that I love” it might not get the same endorsement that Tweeter has, being the one with the highest revenues with an average of $33.6 per order. Also Ebay is performing a new browse of their products , as eBay Chief Technology Officer Mark Carges said “is to combine the ease of online purchasing with the fun of window shopping, said “  this will be a great modification for online shopping and it will even make it more entertaining.
