When I choose Pinterest I choose it because I already knew
so many people using it. I knew that I could find resources for the information
I needed on the site. I do admit that I was extremely curious about the site as
well; after all it was so widely used by friends and family how could I stay
away?
I was already member of social networking sites for example
google+, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace etc., but none of those sites work just
like Pinterest though they have similar pieces to them. I’m a visual person,
and don’t appreciate reading as much as I should. After getting involved with
Pinterest for this assignment, I think that’s why I liked Pinterest so much,
because it’s all pictures less text.
I’ve learned that Pinterest is a place for sharing your
likes. I believe it’s also a place for sharing best practices, what I mean by this
is people are sharing nutrition tips, workout tips, make up tips, and home
projects etc.. You name it and it’s being shared on Pinterest.
The Pinterest community for me is different than the other
social networking sites in that there is less actual communicating with the
other members. You may “repin” something they “pinned” but at least in my experience
there isn’t a lot of conversing otherwise. You however notice the similarities you
have with others on this site. In this way I would say Pinterest could and
probably does open the door for possible new friendships between acquaintances or
even someone you’ve never met.
Pinterest is an Innovative social networking site I would
suggest to others to try out. Sign in or Sign Up!!!
