ModCloth
ModCloth.com is an online clothing, accessories, and decor retailer of vintage and retro styling. It seeks to provide a fun and engaging social shopping atmosphere for its customers. ModCloth on Pinterest does not directly post its products on to any specific board. Instead it generates a creative mix of inspirational elements from a wide variety of sources, which are then shared across many social circles. There’s even a Guest Pinner Gallery, a user-generated pinboard. ModCloth has nearly 10 thousand followers on Pinterest.

General Electric
General Electric does not immediately leap to mind when one thinks of Pinterest. However General Electric on Pinterest highlights the industrial conglomerate’s legacy of design. Its boards also display items of inspiration. There’s even a Badass Machines board for cool machines in action. While GE only has around 200 followers on Pinterest, it’s embracing the spirit of the site, and its progress is worth watching.
