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.
