The tone and styling were perfect. It was awesome in picking up the American flag and asking people to follow them. I'll take both kinds of ads for 1000 please Alex.

Try Path.

It means a lot to me to get a 'stalker' to comment publicly. We are on the same page for social credibility. Although I believe some can be earned online. I'm just not interested in a bunch of 'followers' without first having earned some credibility. Pinterest may prove to be an awesome sight that I love and use all the time. It just sucks that my first experience with them was one of mass explosion without me ever earning anything by my actions on the network. In the future, software designers should wait to blast everyone until you've at least posted 'board, status, or something'. or even better, they should design a very simple work flow for the user to go thru to establish sharing guidelines up front. I look forward to some inspiration from your boards. Thanks Shawn for your comments. It means a lot to me to get a ‘stalker’ to comment publicly.

Social credibility I believe as you do that it comes from the daily interaction with people face to face. Only then can you read the non verbal as well as the verbal and get a true understanding of what someone is saying. I recently taught my 13 year old son the difference between saying the word no and writing the word no. We can whisper it, we can yell it, we can be funny.... You get the picture. In how you say something out loud you define your credibility. So my point of writing was actually about Pinterest.... I'm an artist and see Pinterest as a visual inspiration board. Do I comment with everything I pin? No the mere fact that I'm pinning should say I like what you did. I'm finding inspiration, ideas that yes come from complete strangers. So far I've learned and seen more then all my time on FB - not once has any one told me where they are eating dinner. Instead I have found tasty recipes, clever how to projects and a wealth of inspiring images. As you have taught me :) my suggestion is to view Pinterest not as a social networking site, view it as a visual inspiration board. Just a thought.... Another point of view:

I may even try to clean it up some day soon. I'll be sure to share that with you if I do. The key to me is recognizing the difference between making work that's worth doing and actually doing the work others make. Furthermore, it's too bad the majority of America is made up of followers- just waiting to see how the Doers succeed before even trying. And I've got no use for complainers.
