Pinterest for Marketing?

[COMT]

I am a serious Pinterest lover, *I was pinning before it was cool* lol

First I will make note that according one of the artcles below in the past six months, visits to Pinterest grew by 4000%, receiving an amazing 11 million hits in just one week. I have seen my fb friends have been joining like mad, in fact they are talking about Pinterest on 'Live with Kelly' as I type.

SO, among many others I have a wishlist board with some massage items and a board for office decor various massage ideas too. I have several clients following my personal boards, as they are my personal fb friends as well. (They are long time clients that I feel comfortable having access to these things) After reading the following articles I thought maybe making a pinterest account for my business, linking to my business facebook page and website.

I don't know how I'd use it, personally, but I prefer Muzy for myself. It uses a similar format and anyone can sign up, no invitation required.
