New toy! Pin! Pin! Pin!


 Hi! Today I am not gonna talk no party stuff - but another passion of mine - Social Media stuff :D

As you see this lovingly crafted 'Pinterest' logo on top, yes!
Pinterest has landed on PartyStuff Hong Kong :DD 
It's gonna be a new wave in the social media network (Like!)

Once you have signed up an account, you could grab and pin all kind of lovely pictures on internet or capture your own to share on your pin board. If you used to like photo album sites like Webshots or Picassa --- Pinterest will definitely impress you better with its nice-looking interface.

The reasons why I am loving Pinterest are that:

1. It looks good
2. It's super easy to use
3. It could link to Facebook, Twitter, blogs and websites easily which makes so much more fun using it

Click on this cute button to see what happens! ---> Follow Me on Pinterest

Have fun and enjoy pinning :D

After a day using the Pinterest, here's my user review:

Great functions:
1. 'Bookmarklet' -- A programmed bookmark button you could use in phone app and internet browser to directly pin pictures from the internet page you are on
2. Category -- you could assign a category to each of your board so that your pictures from that board could appear in that category search results of people looking for it
3. Followers -- As there is minimal personal info involved in the Pinterest account, people tend to feel much freer to follow, like and re-pin your pictures to their own board, it's great to attract audience to your source website if you pin photos from your own site ;)

Downside:
1. Server failure -- I encountered frequent server connection failure of Pinterest on iPhone which was quite frustrating, hope they would improve on that
2. Can't pin from Facebook and Youtube -- Some of our greatest pictures are on Facebook...being unable to pin from there is definitely inconvenient, that means we could only generate organic pictures or re-pin...
