Pinterest updated both its mobile and iPad apps recently, offering some of its most recent product updates to mobile users.

One of these new features was allowing its iOS and ANdroid apps with the ability to support GIFs. This will allow the millions of GIF to be accessable to mobile devises. 

 The company also recently unveiled Place Pins, or pins that allow images to contain geo-location information.

Pintrests idea was for people to utlize this feature for planning and showing trips and holiday photos. This is a similar feature that is available via Instagram.  

Pinterest states  that there are more than 200 million Place boards on the their platform, and that over 1.5 million new places are pinned each day. Pintrest claims that users have already pinned more than 750 million places since November.

With Place pins Pinterest could introduce a new revenu stream and use this like Foursquare giving people posing or checking in special offers from restaurants, retailers or companies nearby.
