But, oh. The potential. Click for full post.
I posted more thoughts about Pinterest on Jan 27th, 2012, specifically for authors using Pinterest as a story creation tool.

Is Pinterest worth the addiction? See full reasoning here. The rest:
Reasons to jump on the Pinterest bandwagon.
1. It’s cool. And peer pressure generally works.
2. Pinterest is now third among social media sites for driving referral traffic. That’s huge.
3. Pinterest increased my blog traffic increase by 2-3 times. That’s enough proof for me.
4. Pinterest is a non-sleazy way to sell yourself as an interesting figure. Provided you’re actually interesting.
5. Joining Pinterest instantly makes you seem more “hip.” (Kind of relates to point #1. But it’s true.)
That’s all I have to say about this matter. Now go forth and Pin.
