Pinterest last week announced Guided Search, a new search engine for navigating its particular type of content — user-provided pins, which now number around 30 billion, and an array of around 750 million boards. Guided Search is designed to help users discover pins they were not necessarily looking for, but that might interest them. For now, the feature is available only on mobile, for both iOS and Android platforms, but it eventually will roll out on the Web, Pinterest said, and then in other languages besides English.
Great post. The one network I haven't quite wrapped my head around is Pinterest. Perhaps it's because I haven't gotten into the habit of using it regularly for my personal use, but as a business channel I find it equally confusing. Your article helped quite a lot. thanks!
