If you think Pinterest is just for party-planning brides and recipe-swapping moms, you're missing out on a huge opportunity. While Pinterest does showcase a plethora of craft ideas and casserole pointers, there are more conversations going on than you'd imagine. Indeed, brings more traffic to publishers than Twitter, Reddit and LinkedIn and Google+ combined, according to a recent report by Shareaholic.

And the tech community is taking note. Many are viewing this as a unique opportunity for others to see their products, reviews, coverage and insight.

If you are new to the Pinterest platform or skeptical about how it could work for you, check out this list of five top-notch technology focused "pinners" you should be following.
