[quote=Anonymous]NP. Interesting to read this thread. I posted a couple of weeks ago re: Pinterest. I note that it seems to be heavily used, at least by DCUM folks, for recipes, decorating and travel, which I what I thought was mostly what was on there. I started out looking for travel ideas. But I've ended up using it to create boards to save pins about a couple of specific TV shows, actors and musicians whose work I like.

What I'm finding useful is that if I see a pin I want, it very often leads me to a Tumblr, Instagram or Twitter account etc. that was the original source -- and that leads me down other rabbit holes to find things. I am not on Tumblr, Instagram, Twitter etc. so I'm getting a lot from those sites just via pins and then clicking through to those social media platforms (yep, I'm mostly seeing the linked materials though I'm not a member of those sites). I keep up with a couple of pretty obscure performers and through Pinterest have found a lot of clips of their other performances, charity events, concerts, and old social media posts on platforms like WhoSay etc. Just searching the Internet wouldn't bring up half this material. So, anyone thinking Pinterest is just recipes and crafty stuff, it's also a way to get an overview of a lot of other social media and "pin" types of sites, I've found.

BTW, just in case: My post a few weeks ago was asking if there is any way to "freeze" pins on a page. My pins get bumped all over the place when I add new ones because I often add a lot at once, and I don't necessarily need a whole new sub-section for just a handful of older pins I'd like to keep grouped together. Yes, I do already use a lot of boards and a lot of sections within boards....The consensus was that there's no way to do what I want to do and everything has to be endless sections. If you know a way tp freeze pins on a "main" page, please post....Though I've kind of given up the idea, I'd love it if someone out there has a trick! [/quote]
