We love Pinterest, there are so many brilliant posts floating around that sometimes we get lost looking at all the different and diverse subjects and we just have to share them.

Since we began using Pinterest, we have picked up a pretty good idea of the kinds of things that people like, here are some of our most popular pins:

Infographics

Infographics work amazingly on Pinterest, with all different types of companies using them to spread their message in a visual format with some exceptional designs.

Our own, Anatomy of a Web Designer infographic got a brilliant response, but here are some from other sources that our followers enjoyed:

This one from Marketo does exactly what the title suggests and looks at the most important parts of a social marketing campaign and contains some handy tips on the subject.

This nostalgic infographic by Besteducationdegrees.com brilliantly compares life as a teenager in 2012, with that of 1982.

Another handy tips based infographic for marketers, this time looking at using product badges to boost conversion rates.

This infographic from designer Kelsey Trabue charts the rise of visual content on social media, especially since the emergence of specialist apps such as Instagram.

This superbly presented infographic features a fun flow-chart to see what kind of geek you may or may not be dating. Created by gimmitech.co.uk, it celebrates the cultures of so-called geeks whilst pointing out the importance that everyday technology plays in all our lives.

#Geek

The word “geek” has been somewhat reclaimed by passionate fans of most anything. On this board of our Pinterest account, we celebrate “fanboy” (or girl) culture with some incredibly original and hilarious items:

This brilliant R2-D2 inspired Vespa sitting on the driveway would make any Star Wars fan feel “complete”.

This lightning bolt power strip we re-pinned from Mashable just looks cool and adds a sense of personality to a purely functional object.

Any Facebook fan would love this to be hanging up in their bathroom. This is a great example of a simple, yet highly original idea. Another item that people just have to have if they see it.

Ok, it’s probably the cute baby that generated the response we got for this pic but look how happy this R2-D2 woolly-hat makes this little chap!
