Of a Seemingly Vital Pinterest
Friday, February 10th, 2012
I have no interest in signing up but the social media site Pinterest is the new Twitter.
That is if Twitter was dominated by fans of Julia Child, Martha Stewart and Glamour magazine. Mrs. Zenpundit drew my attention to Pinterest as she is already addicted to “pinning”.
Not much appeal there yet to the part of the population more likely to grow a handlebar mustache, but that does not mean that it’s popularity and influencing effect of Pinterest could not become very significant. I can see a politician or public figure someday going viral on Pinterest due to a faux pas or an image that enrages half the world’s population.
Watch, I give it two years – probably less since the temptation to leverage it during an election year to pull off a negative attack should prove irresistible.
