All's quiet in Facebook Town. Everyone moved to Pin City.

You ever notice how fewer and fewer friends are actively on Facebook?

I know where they are.  Pinterest.

We've shifted our time wastage from maintaining fringe friendships to collecting ideas that would be useful, should we ever actually use them.

I read somewhere, "Google plus is for guys. Pinterest is for women." I don't know how accurate that is, but anecdotaly, I sorta half signed up for Google plus and found no interest in carrying on.  When I was invited to Pinterest, however, I instantly found where my friends had been (thanks Facebook for helping!) and made casual acquaintances with many more women and a few gay men.

Now that my new addiction is founded, I'm looking for a new way to categorize my time wastage.

Facebook had this great title: Social Networking.
What's a high brow term for online hoarding?

PS: You get a glimpse of my brain in this blog (sorry), you can also see where I get some of the ideas in it if you go to my pinterest profile.
