In the first quarter of 2012 Pinterest generated 11.7 million unique visitors, making it one of the largest used social sites. According to Alexa.com the authority on traffic ranking, Pinterest is ranked at #38 globally (#16 in the US) with an average growth rate of 2.5 % a month. And also according to Alexa, more traffic comes from Facebook (13%) than Google (9.38%)?

Here are my choices for the top 21 Pinterest Infographics (pinfographics) online today.
