Hi Craig, thanks for leaving a comment. I also didn’t pay too much attention at first, but after spending a little time I really began to enjoy Pinterst. It does skew more towards woman, it will be interesting to see if this evolves over time.

Thanks for the informative article. I have recently got my invite for pintrest but I have to be honest I am still struggling with it. I just dont get the point of it if I am honest but maybe I need to look into it a bit more and look for some tutorials on it before I brush it aside.

Thanks again

Thanks for taking the time to comment Ahmad. I think that Pinterest has a bit of staying power, so you may want to spend a little time poking around. It will be interesting to watch it evolve, especially for business.

Thanks for those statistics (very interesting, some of them) and the post in general. I’ve been on Pinterest since a couple of weeks now but I’ve not been much of a ‘pinner’ during this time if I’m being honest. Maybe it’ll take a while to catch-on, maybe it’ll just fade away and die like the many before it.

Thanks for the feedback Andy & Don! You both know that with new platforms it is better to be an early adapter than last to the party. There are lots of creative things you can do. Note: there is no restriction on length of an image, so you could do a long “how to” with multiple images laying out the process. Andy you can be a pioneer in Germany, keep up posted on what you do for your client!

Wow, fantastic article Eileen! Thanks for sharing some practical examples and tips. I’ve got a Pinterest account, but haven’t used it much. You’ve got me thinking of some creative ways to use it.

I haven’t looked into it yet, as it’s not that popular yet in Germany, but I’ve got an English project coming up and there’s so much buzz about Pinterest recently, so I think I might give it a try…
