Thanks for pointing this out. But this may be a bit of "cause and effect." As of the time I wrote the original post last week the search "interesting graphics" didn't have me in the top page of results. I have to beieve its sudden rise has to do with the blog post and the number of people goinf to the board as a result of the post. Thoughts?

Thanks for the comment - and yes I tried to find someone with a "mass following" who might have repinned from my board, but coudn't. :-)

Good thought - any idea how to find copies of that email newsletter? :-)

Good idea - I did look through 50 or so and there is no pattern I can discern. Some are new and some have multiple boards and have been on Pinterest for a considerable time ...
On 5 Ways Brands are Tone-Deaf on Twitter
Thanks for the comment. Possibly the only way those kinds of brands on social media figure this out is when they are unsuccessful. :-)

Carie, Tia - thank you! Love Twepeaters and Twexperts - and they will be duly added when I revisit this subject, as surely I will! Thanks!

Good point - it likely means they didn't even read the material at the link before retweeting it!
On 11 Reasons I Won’t Follow You on Twitter
Absolutely. If I were to tweet nine or 10 times an hour every hour I wouldn't blame people for not following me, but I think as you'll see if you look back over any given day I do tweet a lot in short bursts - usually because I'm actually talking to peope. :-) Thanks for the comment.

Good point Bryan - the "broadcast" method of pushing tweets at a far-too-regular rate sends the signal that the person is not really on Twitter to be social. . Thanks for the comment.
On Social Marketing: "The Lighter Fluid on the Marketing Bonfire," says Ric Dragon
Martin,
I'm not sure "just as likely" is something that I'd fully agree with. I think, increasingly, traditional media's role is declining while social/internet-based communities have an increasing role in spreading information. When the tipping point might be reached where social/web communitiies are dominant is up for debate, but that a tipping point is coming seems beyond debate.
Thanks for comment,
Mike

Thanks for this - I do agree that at some point there is probably a snowball effect. And, congratulations on your spectacular growth!
