I've always described Pinterest as "Twitter for images instead of text."
If this is a common description it might help to come up with a better proxy. If not, go for it. I have no clue personally how to evaluate consumer products like this. Seems just as likely as any to work (Low probability high reward).
- undershirt 14y agoThis seems like a way to separate the aphorisms and other significant musings from the everyday conversations on Twitter. I definitely see the value in this.
- levng 14y agoThanks - part of the reason for making QuoteRed is that I find it hard to share things on Facebook and Twitter without it taking over my feed. My idea for this was, by limiting what you post to unoriginal content, you would be freer to post what you really want.
- itsybitsycoder 14y agoTwitter's primary use is to broadcast information to other people, or to read snippets from people you find interesting (particularly celebrities). Pinterest's primary use is to collect images for your own personal benefit. I use Pinterest and have boards for recipes, pictures of places I'd like to visit, fashion choices I'm interested in trying, etc. Most of my pins come straight from the web, and while it's nice if others repin/like/follow me, I don't really care. I have no interest in Twitter, but I might use QuoteRed.
