Pinterest is a social bookmarking inspired site for sharing creativity. Unfortunately, it suffers from linkedinitis, so it's dead to me. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 5, 14:36 7
- Just like LinkedIn, I think it's a good idea in theory, but the implementation is so locked-in and hostile to openness that it suffers as a result. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 5, 14:37 6
  - I appreciate the answer but could you be a little more specific or give an example? -- nm - crash davis Jun 5, 14:39
  - It's like if I took ST and said "you need to create an account and log in in order to see thread replies and IMs" -- nm - Beryllium Jun 5, 14:38 4
    - I remember we had a debate about if we wanted you to do just that years and years ago. -- nm - Qale Jun 5, 14:47
    - got it, thanks -- nm - crash davis Jun 5, 14:40 2
      - If you don't have qualms about creating an account, it's a good way to find and share interesting things like crafts, recipes, photos, toys, etc - Beryllium Jun 5, 14:41 1
        
        ^forgot something: the time suck warning. -- nm - b. Jun 5, 14:43
Essentially a way to drop things you like into folders. Once you see that you like someone's style you can see their folders. - Volnelk Jun 5, 14:35 1
- I appreciate the answer -- nm - crash davis Jun 5, 14:38
web pages, images of things they're interested in, recipes - sort of an enhanced bookmarks list slash scrapbook. -- nm - b. Jun 5, 14:34 2
- thanks, so how do they make money? -- nm - crash davis Jun 5, 14:35 1
  - same as similar others - ads, cataloging (they link to places you can purchase some content), etc. -- nm - b. Jun 5, 14:42
