Why Pinterest is an asset for Web Developers
Back in 2012, I signed up for a website called Pinterest.
It was a very visual website that seemed to be full of mostly Jewelry and Clothing,
so immediately I started wondering if there’s something, anything, that might interest me on one of those pins.
I tried to search for “Web Development”, curious to see some graphs, charts, or perhaps cheat sheets about an interesting new web framework I might not yet be aware of.
Sadly, that didn't work out, all I got was a bunch of irrelevant pictures (even some pics of shirts with a spider web on them). I assumed it wasn’t the search’s fault - the site simply lacked the content that I was looking for.
Whatever the reason was, I can now honestly say that in 2014, about 2 years after my first experimenting, the search on Pinterest is AWESOME.
This is what you currently get when searching for Web Development on Pinterest:
As you can probably see, LOADS of amazing graphs, charts, and basically exactly what I was expecting to get on a Pinterest search!
Here are some interesting ones:

Which Programming Language to choose
This one gives you some insight into what programming language you should choose.
I find it somewhat confusing because it includes JavaScript, yet ignores server side JavaScript,
plus it has Ajax as a category and I'm not sure why it's separated from JavaScript.

This one holds a list the combines must have WP plugins in general,
as well as newer more trendy plugins.
As you can see, Pinterest has a lot more to offer nowadays.
I actually wonder how these graphs are made.
The design seems to be similar on most of them, so there must be a template of some sort.
