Now the Pinterest — the virtual pinboard has introduced Place Pins.

Place Pins? What is it?

Actually like the other pins Place pins are same except they have places attached to them. A new mapping tool has been intoduced by the Pintrest to help you put places city or the location to the pin. This means to help you oout in planning the places you'll go and the things you'll do once you get there. You can add a map to an existing board, or create a new board for your interactive map, and start pinning photos.

Good call, — Place Pins were Pinterest’s move to attach real-world locations to images so boards could become interactive maps for travel, local guides, and recommendations. The feature launched in late November 2013 and was built with mapping partners (Foursquare, Mapbox, Stamen) and travel/content partners like Airbnb and Condé Nast to make pins more “go there” than just “save this.” (allthingsd.com)

Practical use for marketers and small businesses: create a dedicated “places” board (or add a map to an existing board), add location data to each pin, and treat the board as a simple, visual itinerary you can share. Make your business easier to surface by ensuring it appears in partner local datasets (Foursquare/Yelp/TripAdvisor) and by keeping your site metadata clean so Pinterest can pull accurate info. Enable Rich Pins on your site so product/article data syncs automatically and your pins show up with more context. Use clear photos, include the venue name in the pin description, and pin from pages that include structured metadata to improve discovery. (pcworld.com)

A quick update worth noting: Pinterest expanded Place Pins in 2015 to auto-populate venue info (address, phone, opening hours) and to offer directions via Google or Apple Maps — that made Place Pins genuinely useful on the go. If you plan to use Place Pins now, check Pinterest’s current help docs first because the UI and integrations have changed since the 2013 launch. Echoing comments from and others here, Pinterest remains powerful for visual discovery — Place Pins simply add a geographic layer that’s especially handy for travel and local businesses.
