Yeah, a few months ago I got an e-mail saying that 'we need designers like you in our site!" and I was a sucker for it, lol. I just love compliments. It reminds me of Tumblr in a way though. A combination of Tumblr and StumbleUpon, actually. I don't think any of my friends use it though (which is pretty obvious since you can see if your friends use it on the application page). It seemed interesting but I only checked it out once and quit.

@tipay LOL, no. I think they just sent it to random normal people like me xD Yeah, one day I'm addicted to Tumblr, and the next day, I think it's boring. @adhyz Tumblr is basically your own blog where you reblog photos, quotes, writing, etc. that you like and you can also send in your own. You get followers and it gets really fun after you have a good number of followers and people you're following :) And yeah, it's pretty similar to StumbleUpon. I don't know what Digg is xD

I've seen it just recently but I haven't really had the time to find out more about details and stuff. It's actually quite similar to a social network site I belong to but mine is more geared to business interests . I guess the Facebook platform isn't anymore unique. That's usually what happens when someone starts a good concept. A lot would follow suit and even improve on the features. Why are you having second thoughts? Social network sites are great especially if you're the type of person who loves interacting with other people

Yup, I have a multiply account for quite some time now. Lately though I haven't used it that much. Most of my contacts prefer to spend their time on Facebook now. Besides, I'm somewhat lying low on my small business endeavors and focusing more on my full-time work for now

I actually just heard of Pinterest myself about a month ago. I have not tried it yet, or really checked it out yet, but I hear it is a great way to display photos etc. Especially when you might be someone with items for sale.

I first heard about Pinterest from someone I follow on Twitter but didn't give it much thought at the time. Over time as he kept talking about it I decided to go check it out and join as well. I'm not sure if it's because it's new but I found out you have to be invited first, so I waited for the invite to come, and finally it did. So far I like it. It's nothing terribly fancy, I guess, but I like it. Yeah, it's basically a pin board. So far I've got two boards, one for movies I love and the other for stuff related to where I live.

I have tried Pinterest, and I love it. It's not like Facebook. It's more of a pin board. If you're a visual type of person who loves to look at pictures, or share pictures you have taken yourself, then it is for you. Check out my pins on Pinterest http://pinterest.com/jange52/ I have some interesting stuffs there.

One of the site reach the most people log on everyday. It is really a famous and top 10 ranking in the world. It is same as like button or share button in the Facebook. It is like quite interesting to learn and press it. It is an attractive method using to attract visitors log on the websites. Good attempt. They just analysis the taste of users.

I've pinned a few things using Pinterest but I really haven't investigated the site at all. I spend way too much time on Facebook...lol I love looking at some of the things that others have pinned. There are some really awesome ideas to be found there. I don't even know what you can do there besides that. I guess I should take a look and see what else it has to offer, so thanks for the reminder. Happy Posting, Mari

Actually I heard it last night when I wanted to finish an online earning task. I tried to join it. I required for the invitation and I got an email from Pinterest. However, they said they would send me a registery email soon but I haven't got it until now. I don't know what's wrong with them. Since most social networking websites are welcome to sign up an account. It is not so strict. I just feel like that they cheated my email address. I love China

I'm a member of pinterest, but I've not really used the site yet because I'm not sure that I understand it. So far, I've been pinning my scrapbook layouts on there and I've also been pinning the kits that I've used so that those people that are following me can see the materials that I've been using and also the inspiration work that I've done. Other than that, I really don't know what to do with the site besides search for inspiration.
