Given the (sizeable) advertising contracts Pinterest has already landed, people are posting and clicking on pictures of awesome clothes they like and might want to own, and other luxury stuff like cooking utensils; movies and books also seem to be pretty popular, and I've seen a lot of character diagrams from TV shows and fantasy series.

But that has nothing to do with Pinterest; and given some time, somebody will probably figure out the angles for life insurance and ketchup.
