You know, Pintrest ... the new princess of social media.
It’s kind of like sitting with your imaginary friend, looking through magazines and saying “look, I like this ... I like that ... let's tear out this idea and put it on our bulletin board for all our friends to see!” Then all your friends see it and say ... I “Like” it too, and they take it off your bulletin board and put it on theirs!
What a great concept for a idea junkie girl like me!
I first heard about it from a couple of friends and customers ... then I found out that for this exclusive club, I needed an invite. I put on my nicest party dress, tried to act all designer / blogger - ish when I went to the “ask to be invited” button .... and then I waited. Okay ... I’ll admit ... while I was biding my time ... I kind of peeked at the site and even tip toed around a couple of peoples boards ... but I was very quiet and just watched nicely until I received my invitation to join .
Finally, the e-mail came through that I was accepted! I got all signed up, got my bulletin boards all ready... then I FROZE. Can’t think of even one thing to pin to my bulletin boards. I mean ... the boards are out there in full sight for everyone to see and comment and critique and share. There sits mine ... at a loss for anything clever. Go look .... see for yourself http://pinterest.com/echohome/
Duncan thinks we should just go back to the old fashioned way of idea hunting, where we sit on the couch, I peruse and he sleeps ... but ... progress happens! Meanwhile ... it's Friday ... go sneak a peek at Pintrest for yourself! It's fun ... AND it will be just fine with your boss ...
