My Pinterest site now has over 100 followers. That may not be much, but (1) it happened over just a few months and (2) I appreciate those 100+ followers more than they may realize.

I have a total of 21 boards, and the most popular boards are:
   Favorite Faces and Portraits (300+ pins) 
   Favorite Quotations (600+ pins) 
   Creatures Around Us (250 pins) 

 I have an Infographics and Data Visualization board with over 100 Pins.

I'm very impressed with the many Pinterest features.

Twitter was created  by Jack Dorsey and launched in July of 2006.

Thanks, Twitter, and good work.

Visual.ly has a Mac vs. PC infographic for business last July. Just a few items gleaned:

• Mac was 10% of market share
• Sales for Mac was over 5 times that of Windows
• Mac has 10 times more Youtube subscribers
• Mac has twice the Twitter followers

This Infographic is the result of a Social Media Innovation course through Temple University Fox School of Business.


Good work in showing significant data.
