Been experimenting with Pinterest (Pin + interest) as it is in the spirit of the tongue rug. A bulletin board with disparate pins as a sort of sladdakavring: a way of rapidly gathering links, images and videos and sharing these collections with other users.
Though it is being used for emarketing, promoting brands and products, more personal archives are being developed. The latter intrigues me: what do people judge worthwhile enough to pin? Over time, what will this interface reveal to us about what society deemed important?
