If you look at the 'Frequency of social media site use' graph though Twitter is far more popular on a daily basis than Pinterest. This seems a more significant statistic.

Significant in what way? Pinterest users are (often, not always) looking to buy things.

Significant in that the title is "Pinterest Passes Twitter In Popularity..." so if you decide to judge popularity by page requests then I suspect twitter may be more 'popular' than Pinterest.

This theory is backed up by http://www.alexa.com/topsites/global;0 where Twitter is 12th and Pinterest is 30th.

Of course, popularity doesn't pay the bills!
