What Facebook Marketers Need To Know About Pinners

Guest Blogger — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 13:01:18 +0000

How do you market to pinners? To find out, we analyzed data on more than 10,000 associations between fans of Pinterest and other Facebook pages that they like.

Pinterest fans are proud when they find something awesome. They eagerly share on Foodspotting, Goodreads, and Spotify, desperate to share what they’re eating, reading, and listening to at all times. Always exploring, they are obsessed with BranchOut HQ and StumbleUpon.

Pinners want to be content creators, as well as to broadcast their super-special-sophisticated-knowledgeable identity to the world. To do so, they lean on WordPress, TweetDeck, foursquare, Digg, and Shareaholic.

Despite their interest in quality reads and quality foods, Pinterest fans are also fascinated by the superficial pleasures in life, with a strong hunger for celebrity news. They love Celebuzz, E Online, Hulu, Jezebel, and Fashionista.

And Pinterest fans use their savvy to their advantage, surfing the Net for opportunities to save money. They look to Amex:Link, Like, Love, Groupon, Young Entrepreneur, Freebies 4 Mom, and Gilt City for fun financial smarts.

Perhaps because their digital identity is so tied to their personal identity, Pinterest fans feel very close to their networks. They subscribe to Social RSS, SocialMouths, FamilyShare., AwkwardFamilyPhotos, HubSpot, and Constant Contact.

Overall, pinners like to be in the know and, perhaps more importantly, seem in the know. They’re always on the lookout for tricks and trivia, and then live to share it out with their social networks. Consider them the town criers of the web.

Readers: What insights does this data give you about marketing to pinners?

Facebook Squeezes Digg Into A New Business Model

Nick O'Neill — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 09:51:07 +0000

While I personally love using Digg to find my news content, the majority of the internet is perfectly satisfied finding content through their friends. While Digg is in the process of rolling out a new version of their site, Facebook’s decision to release a “like button for the internet” could significantly impact Digg. Combine that with their previously released share analytics and share button, and you can see how Digg is getting squeezed into a new business model.

Facebook Tells Digg To Fix Their Connect Implementation

Nick O'Neill — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 11:40:17 +0000

Digg is one of the most significant implementations of Facebook Connect to date but not everything is rosy as Digg has violated Facebook’s terms in the process of rolling out their service. One month ago a developer in the Facebook developer forum began complaining that Digg was actively storing user information. One month later Matt Trainer who handles developer relations at Facebook posted that they’ve “followed up with Digg to make sure that no profile information is stored against Facebook policy.”

One Year Later, Facebook Connect Goes Live On Digg

Nick O'Neill — Wed, 06 May 2009 16:43:12 +0000

At last year’s annual f8 event, Digg came on stage to announce that they would be officially supporting Facebook Connect. Almost one year later, support has finally gone live. We’ve take a look and it’s a pretty basic integration. Essentially you can login using your Facebook account and whenever you Digg an article, you are prompted with the option of publishing that Digg to your feed. I haven’t yet figured out if new Diggs will be published twice if you had previously imported your Digg account.
