Pinterest is making the leap from the computer screen to the small screen-and television networks may not know what's coming for them. The image-sharing site, which people use to search and discover objects of interest they can't name or didn't know they wanted, is revving up its advertising products at the same time it has struck its first notable placement in a TV show. -> Watch out, Television. #Pinterest wants to pin down your Ad dollars: http://t.co/yzN0Qc3qNC #pinchat

As social networks go, Pinterest doesn't get a whole lot of respect. You don't see lengthy dissections of its news feed algorithms, worried hand-wringing about its future, or personal essays about the emotional solace it provides during times of trouble. -> Pinterest is sneaking up on Twitter and Facebook... http://t.co/TcrOCT48Uw #tech #biz #sm #pinchat http://t.co/djbuVWylAN

How are you using Pinterest right now? I'm like a lot of typical users. I use it to collect recipes. I recently had a kid, so I use it to find activities for the kid. I use it to save gifts for my wife, keep track of things that I might want to buy.

Pinterest has captured our visual fancy like no other network before it. The image-driven network's meteoric rise in only a few years shows the site is more than just a pretty community for people interested in fashion and lifestyle: Marketers are all over Pinterest's lead-generation aspects, and online hits on products from the site have proved a marketing sensation.

Om Malik, editor of GigaOM, predicts we are witnessing the ' Pinterest-ization of the web '. This is not only thanks to Pinterest alone, but other websites like The Fancy (recently raised $53m from Will Smith, American Express and others) who are moving into the space created at the intersection of social media and e-commerce: social commerce.
