I’ve recently been introduced to Pinterestby a friend’s wife. For those of you who don’t know, Pinterest describes itself as:
There’s everything from travel destinations to clothes to crafts to workouts to books to makeup tutorials. . . you get the idea. It’s definitely a great place for the crafty minded, but it has something for most folks, if you ask me! If you want more info-- a beginner’s guide to Pinterest, if you will- check out this blog.
I’ve basically gone crazy finding neato holiday decoration tutorials lately. It’s. . . bordering on an obsession, actually :p.
So, are any Dopers on Pinterest? Want to follow each other? I’d love more “pins” to follow. This is my Pinterest if you want to search around/ follow. I’d love if you guys post links to yours so I can follow! It’s just pinterest.com/YourUsername.
If you don’t have a Pinterest and would like an invite, I’d be more than happy to send you one! I just need your email (you can PM it to me, if you’d like). I don’t get anything for inviting you except the pleasure of creeping on your pins when I should be doing actual things around my house :D.
Oh, Pinterest is SOOOO addicting! I love it. This is me, and I’ll go follow you. I get so many ideas there! However, there’s also a healthy amount of fugly, which is fun, too.
I love Pinterest! My page is here. A lot of my girl friends are really obsessed with it too, but not many guy friends for some reason.
I use it some for ideas or inspiration for my paintings. Or just to save cool pictures that I find. Of course, the pictures I’ve pinned that have been liked/repinned the most are the ones of cuteanimals. It seems like it should also be a good way to market my paintings, but I haven’t figured out how to go about doing that.
I’m not willing to reveal my real name but had to post because I am in love love love with Pinterest. I use it mostly for crafting/diy/home/garden/holiday ideas. Oh and funny quotes and sayings too. I follow all my favorite bloggers there and get such fun ideas that I could do. Just pinning satisfies my need to craft and redecorate without actually doing it.
I understand the concern wrt your name. You do know you can go into your settings and change what shows up as your name, yeah? I certainly understand if you don’t want to do that, of course, but it seems like a good way to make sure nobody ever stumbles upon your Pinterest via Googling your name. Just a thought :).
Hey actually, it is that I don’t ever reveal my name or other personal info here and if I link my pinterest that link is established. I’m all over the web as myself otherwise, both personally and professionally. Just not here.
I hope my posting here doesn’t mean I’m reviving a zombie…
I recently got onto Pinterest and I love it! I"m wasting far too much time on there, but I’m liking how it’s more visual than just bookmarking everything in a browser.
I’ll follow you guys for sure. I’m here, if you’re interested.
I’m thinking of starting a board on Pinterest that’s entitled, “What the hell were they thinking?” It would be filled with all the crap that’s out there–the cheesy, trashy stuff that looks like it should have been thrown in the trashcan, instead of posted online.
However, I’m afraid that too many other people would repin it.
A friend sent me cammo wedding dresses that someone had earnestly and sincerely pinned to her wedding ideas board. Since I lack tact, I immediately repinned it, commenting that it was literally the tackiest, most amazing thing I’ve ever seen.
