Pinterest

I recently signed up. I was put on a waiting list but they contacted me within 2 days. Since I've signed up, I've yet to pin anything. I think I still need to get used to it but i do love browsing at all the nice things other people pin!

I have zero interest in joining. Of course, I said that about facebook at one point too.

I dunno. It requires me to go to FB timeline which I am resisting, dragging my heels to timeline. Nooooooo, I won't upgrade to timeline!

I like Pinterest. I don't think I could spend hours on there, and I'm not totally sure how to search for things, but I have found some AMAZING vegan recipes and sites through there and that's been worth it's weight in gold.

I've given up FB for Lent, in hopes that it will make me much less of a FB wh*re...
And yeah, I'm resisting the timeline, too...

I thought the same, but it was so incredibly easy-peasy. FB will do everything for you other than setting your "cover" photo -- the big, wide photo that is now on top of what used to be your wall, but is now your timeline. I resisted, but I set it up in 2 minutes (just put the cover photo on, FB did the rest).

I've since gone back and filled in a few details here and there (marriage date, high school and college graduation dates, death of a couple of loved ones), but that is absolutely optional. I really like it b/c it shows photos larger, and you can highlight or easily remove posts you prefer not show up on your timeline.

I dislike a lot of changes Facebook makes, but Timeline is one I actually give a thumbs up. Try it, you might just like it!

Timeline is just a new layout for your wall- heaps nicer looking.

I wonder about Pintrest. It sounds like it does exaactly what FB already can do (what's stopping you putting photos or recipes on FB?) Except it's more punlic. Nothing really amazing new there.

I just joined pinterest too and I don't get it either. I'm not sure if I want to invest the time to figure it out especially with nicer weather coming and the chance to be outdoors more, but maybe on rainy days....I dunno...I have FB friends who seem enthralled with it.

Pinterest is really great is you like cooking. It makes it very easy to bookmark recipes that you want to go back to and/or quickly reference. This is me. http://pinterest.com/glutenfreefit/
