I have joined pinterest a few weeks back. It is some what interesting.

I see a lot of mixed opinion about it. I had heard about it's gaining popularity a while ago.

But joined recently when I heard the fact that it was a start-up which included a 19 year old as one of the core team member. Yes, it's no more the same old startup it used to be earlier and has come a long way.

I have even written an article on this guy on my blog.

I am scared to death to post the link as I might attract a lot of criticism. But if you are interested you can visit queensquill.com.

Hope you guys don't mind me mentioning my blog url without the link. I have two blogs and this info is just avoid confusion between the two!

Wow! This thread was so informative...I am new on Pinterest too, and although I like the idea of maintaining a board for books, you have a much better tool in Goodreads.

Amrutha .. the biggest plus for pinterest is that its very visual. For someone like me who loves photographs Pinterest is a delight

Pinterest  I just heard the name once and I have the least idea about it. By the way, I don't have my presence on facebook and twitter too....

By the way, how should Pinterest be pronounced: P - Interest or in some other way?

Medha Nagur

I guess Pinterest is pronounced as Pin-interest. You know the whole idea of it is pinning!

Somehow it looks like a kichdi of sorts, better not to hang over there, mostly foreigners with their fancies

Since so many falling in the category of "Dunno how to use" , shall I send the Pinterest guide which I downloaded from the net ?

I agree with Narendran if you have a design, photography, art kind of niche it definitely gives you a lot of exposure. But the copyright guidelines of Pinterest are still vague and not understood by all. Infact I recently found that according the t&c of pinterest, if any image pinned by you attracts a copyright violation suit, you have the sole responsibility of not only defending yourself but even pinterest.Imagine the legal fees. So be caeful while treading those waters.

copyright violation suits in India :P

I know copyright is not taken seriously in India but should be. I just saw this forum discussion http://www.indiblogger.in/forum/topic.php?id=11951. Pinning randomly is not encouraged and if one has some original content to share on pinterest then one might actually gain some followers.
