Summary
In the past six months, Pinterest has gone from relative obscurity to exalted status alongside Facebook and Twitter as a social-networking site that U.S. retail marketers need to pay attention to. While the social-bookmarking site has largely been propelled by a female, Midwestern-skewing audience, now that it's looking to make itself known abroad, it's likely going to have to find a different user niche in each new market.
Description
Pinterest, the roughly 40-person company added a new hire in April who has a focus on "international growth," according to their LinkedIn profile. And it's also embarked on a project to crowdsource translation of the site into other languages, starting with Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Japanese.
