Friday Distraction: Pinterest
Heard of Pinterest? It’s a photo sharing website that allows users to manage theme-based collections. Think of it as a place you can have individual bulletin boards of the things that interest you…and you can share photos (called pinning).
The site has a clear focus with most visitors sharing recipes, art, interior design, travel and fashion. However, there’s starting to be some discussion about whether it can be used successfully for recruiting and marketing. I’ve created an HR Bartender board to play around with it … you can check it out here.
At the beginning of April, Pinterest was considered to be the third most popular social network after Facebook and Twitter. Yep, it appears folks really like to pin stuff!
I’m curious. Have you tried Pinterest? Share your thoughts in the comments.
