I am addicted to Pinterest. I'd never heard of Pinterest until it was mentioned in my Social Media class about 2 months ago. That isn't so surprising, since I was pretty oblivious to social media in general and really didn't think it was all that important or interesting. Now I can't seem to get enough of it and Pinterest has me hooked.
What is so appealing about this site??? I'll tell you what is NOT appealing...that is when someone just pins a photo and it isn't a link to anything else, or even worse when it brings you to a marketing site. So, I guess that gives me a clue about what IS so addictive about the Pinterest.
- It is very visual, but not just on the surface. A click will bring you places. I found the Etsy website today. Love it!
- You can look back (like a scrapbook) at a board that has all things that YOU like. Just love to go into one of my pages and feel the sense of awe -- like "Beautiful Places" or "Gardening" -- as I love every photo, or into a Board where I had pinned articles that were of interest to me.
- You interact with other people who have similar interests and get GREAT ideas from them. Looking at other peoples' boards gives you a sense of their personality. It is socially satisfying to follow someone who has repinned a pin.
