For marketers there are ever expanding social media platforms to propagate a company\u2019s messages. Currently there is a lot of growth in the image based portals that are similar to\u00a0<\/span>Pinterest<\/a>. There are image base sites that look like more director competitors to Pinterest, such as\u00a0<\/span>WeHeartIt<\/a>. WeHeartIt has a slightly more artsy feel and it is trying to appeal to a younger demographic than Pinterest. There are also sites that are targeting a specific niche; for example: foodies, men, photographers and so-on.<\/span><\/p>\n

Food Gawker\u00a0<\/a>is a site that appeals to foodies. It\u2019s designed very much like Pinterest \u2013 rows and columns of the various picture post. User can post images for favorite food images. Food Gawker is part of the Gawker Verse which also has site specific for: crafts, style\/ fashionistas and weddings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gentlemint<\/span><\/a>\u00a0is a site targeting men. As the site says a place to post \u201cmanly things.\u201d Similar layout to Pinterest and Food Gawker.<\/p>\n

The upside for marketers is that these portals are targeted\/geared towards specific groups or segments. Markets don\u2019t need to be in all of these platforms to ones the reach their target audiences.<\/p>\n
