Pinterest invite only picture interest board social network

[froggyboy604]

I want an invite, and I applied for an invite, but I got a feeling it take me a few days to get an invite for http://pinterest.com/ .

Pinterest kinds of reminds me of picture forum boards, but is not as anonymous as 4chan, Reddit picture section since people use their real names or writers names.

Pinterest also has a more high end modern feel compared to many Image boards which are less modern looking, and look like websites from the mid 90s.

I won't join it, just because it isn't my thing. I think that there's an absolutely ridiculous amount of "social" sites now, though. Sort of a buzzword, to me.

I tried Pinterest, and it seems like a good place to get traffic by just pinning images you have on your sites/articles.

After using it, I seem to be getting more traffic from search engines like Google, but I'm not sure if it is caused by Pinterest backlinks I made, or new articles I posted on my sites.

I looked it up. It started in March 2010.

Pretty recent then. Know if it will go public anytime soon?

I heard it just became popular a few months a go, and it is still invite only. I predict it would probably go public in a few months when more people know about it, or when the website is almost done with fixing bugs, and has a good userbase.

Some people claim Pinterest brings a lot of Traffic to photo sites and Visual based sites since the main purpose of the site is to pin images, and videos on to the site, and let your friends and members comment on your pictures and images.

You can put your email address in and ask for an invite. It took them a week to approve my account which I haven't used yet. A few photos from my sites got pinned by random users and it sent some traffic my way.

I heard my aunt talking about Pinterest last week.

Mind = Blown

(She rarely if ever uses the Internet.)

I heard a lot of middle-age and older women like Pinterest because it is set up like a scrape book and bulletin board where people can also comment on your pins/posts about clothes, shoes, etc.

I learned about Pinterest from a young woman posting on Twitter asking for a Pinterest invite, and from reading a post on Gawker about a mildly offensive picture which was posted to Pinterests which made conservative women debate with the poster : http://gawker.com/5881798/hot-new-socia ... de-picture

Susan: Could you keep the language clean? Thanks.

Missy: I agree Susan!

Alaythea: Are ya'll serious?! It's a joke, it's funny! Lighten up!

Marion: not appropriate at all

Jennifer: llighten up? i can tell you don't have kids and certainly not teenage girls who love to get on pinterest and see interesting things. it isn't just about you if you post things for others to see. i will not follow you any more which is a shame because i loved your stuff.

Shellia: THIS IS SO NOT APPROPRIATE, I JUST INVITED MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAWS AND A FRIEND PLEASE STOP THIS OR YOU ARE GOING TO MISS A LOT OF VIEWERS!!!!!!

Sarah: Wow, some of u people should take a chill pill, it's a funny picture and it's just words. It's not like she's being a bigot or putting someone down. Geesh

Shellia: NOT A FUNNY JOKE MY 7 YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER COULD BE LOOKING AT THIS!!!

Kelcy: Are you guys serious? There is a single curse word, on a site I don't think children have access to. The joke itself is encouraging fun! It's not like she made this image first of all, second of all unfollow her if you don't like it! No need to cry about it.

Caitie: I hate to break it to you but all of your teenager who are on Pinterest have heard this word before. She's right, you guys do need to lighten up. They won't be kids forever! Being a helicopter parent will only make it worse.

Debra: I know lots of young people on here - keep it clean
