My sister described pinterest as "Reddit for women". I don't expect most of us to understand its value as we're not the target demographic.
Curation is done like subreddits. People have their own pinterest boards. Like Reddit, only the front page is nonsense, but if you have a specific interest, you can find a subreddit/board for it.
- triplesec 13y agoBut reddit is for women too! It's ironic that though we wish to be hte same, because of [insert favourite media / social theory here] our cultures still inherently split the sexes into two ery differently-interested genders, even though our geek-rationality-wish-world likes to wish that men women be just as broadly interested in everything. I'm curious to see how this might be different in 100 years time. I suspect we'll learn a lot about the actual factors concerning genders' similarity and differences through research through places like Pinterest. But yes, pinterest to me is so... ugh!
- w4 13y agoAnd Pinterest is for men! I say this as a guy who "gets" Pinterest, and uses it all the time. There's just so much pretty to browse... Basically I use it like NotCot on steroids.
