By now you’ve probably heard of a little thing called Pinterest. I recently joined and I still don’t understand all of the nuances, but can clearly see how a person can get addicted. It’s an entire universe of ideas, videos, photos and websites in a format we in the older generation would equate with Reader’s Digest condensed books. It’s a virtual bulletin board that can hold an infinite number of thumb-tacked reminders, without the thumb tacks.
With Twitter and Facebook I pretty much have my hands full with the whole social network thing. I’ve decided to make Pinterest my own. Except for the one little board I call Auntie B’s Wax Featured Items, which is a small sampling of what I have to offer in my Etsy shop to anyone who’s interested, I’m pinning things for my own reference and enjoyment without regard to impressing anyone else. I’m not pinning to win friends and followers, i.e. racking up the big numbers; however, I’m hooking up with people I think have impeccable taste, cool DIY projects or great things to sell. For me, Pinterest isn’t about who’s hot, it’s about finding things that are awesome to me.
In the interest of being a well-rounded blogger I’ve added a Pin It button at the bottom of my posts, as well as a Follow Me On Pinterest button on my sidebar. You won’t, however, find every single thing I pin posted as a status update or a tweet. My pinning is limited to Pinterest and will not spread to Facebook or Twitter.
I’m looking forward to increasing my knowledge of Pinterest and finding out all it has to offer. I’m also look forward to having enough time to add to my boards and incorporate some of the “pins” into my life, home, and business.
Got some great boards you want me to see? Let me know, because I really like cool stuff.
