Our findings reveal that Facebook has the\u00a0largest percentage of shares by a landslide &#8211; nearly 35% of sharing happened via the &#8220;Like&#8221; button and posting to Facebook.\u00a0More interesting datapoints:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Sharing to Twitter also owned a large percentage of the shares at 16%.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Social bookmarking sites, although less hyped than other social networks like Pinterest, continue to be a top platform for shares. Reddit, Delicious, Digg and StumbleUpon all made the top 10.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Although our data shows that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shareaholic.com\/blog\/2012\/03\/pinterest-referral-traffic-2\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pinterest surpasses Twitter for referral traffic<\/a>, it still owns a smaller percentage of shares. This indicates that people use Pinterest more for discovery and it&#8217;s a smaller percentage of the Pinterest users who are driving the original pins (shares) that get re-pinned and clicked on to later drive referral traffic. This actually isn&#8217;t too surprising for a social media platform. Think about how people upload video to YouTube versus how many people watch YouTube videos. So dare we suggest there are Pinterest influencers?
