This Week in Social Analytics on Tumblr | From ComScore’s 2013 U.S. Digital Future in Focus:

“Three social networks in particular – Tumblr, Pinterest and Instagram – each gained more than 10 million visitors over the course of the year in part by catering to a desire for more visually appealing content. comScore has called this phenomenon “the rise of the visual web.” Of the three, Tumblr had the largest audience at 30.8 million visitors (up 64 percent from the prior year), while Pinterest (up 284 percent to 28.9 million visitors) and Instagram (up 284 percent to 27.4 million visitors) both shared the same outsized growth rate.” 

The first graph above shows the shares for time spent on each site, with Tumblr coming in second behind Facebook, while the second shows the total unique visitor trend with Tumblr trending above both Pinterest and Instagram.

New Feature! How to Verify Your Website on Pinterest Pinterest is another one of those social networks that some marketers have figured out how to infiltrate to reap business benefits — even without the existence of dedicated brand pages on Pinterest (much like Google+ when it first launched). But it seems like the folks over at the Pin headquarters — even if they’ve done so unintentionally — are giving those businesses a little nudge with their latest feature rollout. Pinterest has started to roll out website verification for profile pages. This feature is intended to let other pinners learn more about the people they’re following on Pinterest. In a nutshell, the feature will let you highlight your full website URL on your Pinterest profile going forward. Users will also see a checkmark next to your domain in search results and on your profile. Website verification is not available for all Pinterest accounts quite yet, so if you don’t see it, just sit tight over the next week or so, as they’re doing a progressive rollout.

Overall, Percolate’s flow-like content is a compliment to the longer-form expert opinion pieces OF has on its main site. “It’s early stage, but a really interesting player as far as a brand is concerned. We were lucky to get an early start in building out a community and content site for small business owners. Percolate has given us some pretty good insights and helps manage some of the assets we are building out. While we started with Tumblr, we want to pull Percolate into the other channels like Facebook and Twitter as well,” says Roen.

Hello American Express. We are excited about our partnership with OPEN Forum and where Tara and the editorial team over there can take the product as they continue to expand their content presence on the internet. The other good nugget from this article is American Express is committed to helping small business, like Percolate, grow. We like that.
