There have been complaints because many of the pictures are copyrighted. I think the site is a good idea if you have a hobby or you're remodeling your house and a great place to post ideas. I'm not sure it would be a good marketing tool unless your market is a younger age group.<br />AnnAnn Summervillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13300190648788509096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32918125.post-72810994746328212762012-04-28T15:20:11.543-05:002012-04-28T15:20:11.543-05:00I recently gave in to Pinterest.

I'm there, though, and see people re-pinning my stuff and know they can see my book cover. I pin memoirs I like and Japanese culture photos, i.e. stuff relating to my book. Also pin couple other popular categories I like just to attract people.

I'm not on Pinterest either, but I know quite a few people who are. It's one more thing that I'm avoiding but may be, kicking and screaming, dragged onto.

I scrolled through the board for a while and then started poking around on the category listings, but I am not tempted. I find it visually overwhelming, and after reading about how publishers were using it, surprising that there was no Books or Publishing category. Perhaps they are in Arts? Anyway, I think I'll pass.<br />~jonJ. M.

I haven't joined - but I have been fascinated that two blogging friends have pinned my blog or my castles posts .. into their Pinterist sites - I need space to catch up and work out what to do .. for now I'll leave it - but I must check out my friends' sites and their pinning ..<br /><br />I'm not technically up and with it - I'm sure I'll learn quite quickly - but for now .. I'm hanging in the background watching social media in general.<br /><br />Cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32918125.post-30051343330989984002012-04-28T07:07:46.039-05:002012-04-28T07:07:46.039-05:00Gah!

I think it's an exceptional idea to gather images that recreate a book's universe. I use Pinterest, but just for personal pleasure.
