blessingx Posted February 17, 2012 Report Posted February 17, 2012 So the buzz is getting pretty buzzy. Anyone using? Quote
The Monkey Posted February 17, 2012 Report Posted February 17, 2012 I'm trying to figure out what i would use it for. Quote
blessingx Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) I'm trying to figure out what it is. Is it a Evernote/Instapaper-like info collection service (image focus) with a social splash to add flavor? On quick glance it may have already become the premiere location for photos of medieval merchant reenactors. Edited February 17, 2012 by blessingx Quote
manaox2 Posted February 18, 2012 Report Posted February 18, 2012 I seems like reddit, but invite-only. Quote
grawk Posted February 18, 2012 Report Posted February 18, 2012 I got my invite, but I haven't bothered to do anything with it yet Quote
Voltron Posted February 19, 2012 Report Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) Buzzy is right. I first heard about it on Thursday reading David Pogue's column, then heard people talking about it randomly, then my sister-in-law said yesterday that she is addicted to Pinterest and now this. Quite the phenomenon. Edited February 19, 2012 by Voltron Quote
The Monkey Posted February 19, 2012 Report Posted February 19, 2012 Women seem to dig it. I just looked around the site and literally cannot understand what the fuck is going on. Quote
Grahame Posted February 19, 2012 Report Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) ^ this : http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/02/why-pinterest-is-playing-dumb-about-making-money/253273/ They pretend that they don't care about making money off of users and we users pretend that we aren't the product. 1)We know Pinterest is driving truly massive traffic to retail sites, by some accounts more than YouTube, LinkedIn, and Google+ combined. It is, after all, a platform that's perfect for shopping! 2) We know Pinterest used SkimLinks to add affiliate links. 3) Affiliate links generate revenue.... And how to play the game http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204792404577227542820850590.html?mod=googlenews_wsj Be selective. Highlight only a few of your most popular or newest items so your profile doesn't look like an advertisement Best quote elsewhere "It's like crack. for ladies" Edited February 19, 2012 by Grahame Quote
