Tell them about the TOS and um, something I meant to read earlier but did not ....

Probably just one person in the crowd who has decided to sing a different tune to get noticed.

Of course, you do not need to be involved in Pinterest to gain from it. I discovered it after getting traffic from my domain page. Give it a little time and you will probably by able to buy pins buy the bucket load.

I've seen pins for sale. Fiverr I think.

Gurtie : Did you see the econsultancy post about who uses pinterest in the UK? In the US it is the expected middle-aged female crafters. In the UK it is IT orientated men in their 20s and 30s... or SEOs as we generally call them.

I just went to bronx.com to set what is there. If you were wondering if it is still a violent place, then the latest headlines should help answer:

 

Bronx Teenager Stabbed To Death

Armed Robbery Of Livery Cab Driver 

Bronx Man Sets Himself Ablaze 

3 Arrested In Rutland Town Drug Sting 

Woman Killed In Bronx Hit-And-Run 

 

Hang on, Rutland? Isn't that in the midlands?

I think it was the tumble drier.

Yes, its already slightly irritating that people keep telling me about this awesome 'new' social media thing (I have perfected the bored look and told them seos' have now stopped using it) but its even more annoying that because they heard it's 'good for seo' they all want corporate pages.

whoa! I do not recommend that anyone does that while sober.

That was supposed to be a list. Daft Drupal turned it into spun nonsense!

>pinterest

I just started hearing about this a week ago.  Although buzz seems to be spreading fast via FB.  I'm waiting to see if it is just the new shiney thing of the month or if it has real staying power before I try to find out what the heck it is.  

>clients

Best not to jump on every social bandwagon until it has proven itself.  Make sure they are doing FB and Twitter right (and have time) before pinterest.
