Pinterest had more than 16 million unique visitors in March, making it one of the most popular social media sites on the Web.  Due to their popularity, there have been some copycat sites that have popped up that you might be interested in:
  1. Image Spark - The site lest users collect, discover, tag, share and converge images that inspire creative designs.  Users can create boards that set a visual tone for their images and users can also keep their images private.  It is free to use and gives the user 1GB of storage and two boards.
  2. SparkRebel - This site is a fashion-inspired, social shopping platform that is currently in Beta.  The site contains 19 categories for users to browse and features brand pages that allow vendors to share products and content with members.  It includes prices and a "buy it" icon on content pages that redirect a user to a separate site to finish the purchase.
  3. Stylepin - This site allows you to collect and organize fashion and style images for inspiration.  It is only for fashion and style.  Users must request an invite.
  4. Manteresting - A totally "man" focused site, users nail their content onto workbenches.  You can sign up through your social platforms.
  5. Gentlemint - Another male-focused site that is very similar to Pinterest.  It is currently open by invitation only.  
  6. Fancy - Users of this site "fancy" the content instead of pin it.  Users can search for product deals and make purchases directly on the site.  This site is a really good alternative to Pinterest for retailers.
  7. Juxtapost - This site allows users to keep their boards private and also share them privately.  You can also export content to Excel, index photos by colors and find similar content through a "more like this" button.  The site has 18 different categories and is one of the best Pinterest alternatives we've seen.
