I did it. I signed up for pinterest This was an agonizing decision because you have to also sign up for facebook. Can’t have one without the other. So I am nominally on facebook, but don’t expect to see me posting things there.
I thought I would see if pinterest is as awesome a marketing tool as I have heard. In this day and age getting people to buy your wares is getting pretty chancy, and the more traffic the better!
So pinterest seemed like the next best idea. Ride the wave, don’t be splashed around with the flotsam. Or something like that.

The part that sold me is that pinterest is a permanent (so far as the web goes anyway) place to store all the myriad links to places with things I would like to make or buy. I can flip through all my photos and find the thing just like that.
And boy does it seem like there are a lot of things I would like to buy…..I mean make.
I enjoy being able to pin something I see online. I have snatched pictures before of something I might want to buy or make, then I forget where the heck I found them… ARGH. Pinterest solves this for the most part. There are some pages that won’t let you pin, but it doesn’t happen often.
