I read today that Experian rep Matt Tatham says Pinterest beat its next-closest competitor, LinkedIn, in total visits in February. Tatham says the rankings by total visits for March is as follows:
- 1. Facebook: 7 billion
- 2. Twitter: 182 million
- 3. Pinterest: 104 million
- 4. LinkedIn: 86 million
- 5. Tagged: 72 million
- 6. Google+: 61 million
This would indicate that LinkedIn and Pinterest are competitors? What?
That be like saying a car and a canoe are competitors, because they both transport people. The only thing I can see that LinkedIn and Pinterest have in common is that they both use websites to give people access to information.
So I clicked over into Pinterest and took another look. I scrolled around randomly and found absolutley nothing I was interested in – or Pinterested, if you will. Almost all the posters are women, and it’s all about touchy-feely stuff, and weddings, food, dates, animals, all things I don’t relate to in the least.
Then I clicked on one randomly. See the item below. There is one big picture of blossoms in Japan. Cool. Then there are 64 women, and not a single man, that put comments below. Read some of the comments.
Amazing, Amazing Beauty, Beautiful, I want to get married there, Stunning, I want to go there, Wow, Awesome, So Beautiful, Wow Beautiful, etc.
Who reads this stuff? Does anybody actually scroll down and real all that drivel that hundreds of people post below random images?
It looks like a timewaster of gigantic proportions.
I am sure I am missing something, but for now I find no reason to ever go back to Pinterest.
