It is safe to say that Instagram has managed to revolutionize the world of photography. It has convinced millions of its users that they have what it takes to become professional photographers. It has created a social network for photography; perhaps that is why the most successful social networking site Facebook decided to acquire it for $1 billion.

Pinterest has undoubtedly taken the Internet by storm. A website that has forced giants like Facebook and Twitter to stop and take notice.

One of the main reasons for Pinterest to gain so much popularity is its design and functionality (apart from the concept of course). Nothing very complicated, just a never-ending wall featuring images and links suited to your likes and interests.

Some may argue that Pinterest is a website only for women, and statistics clearly tell us that a major chunk of Pinterest users actually are women. 97% of Pinterest's Facebook fans are women, but then, is there anything wrong with that? They've found their target audience and are making the most out of it.
