Hey, your food recipe pins are nice and all, but you know what is better? Police mugshots, right on Pinterest. Give it up to The Mercury Police Department in Pottstown to go balls out and use social media to their full advantage, posting police mugshots on the hottest image sharing network around.
My favorite Pinterest competitor, The Fancy, has a new suitor by the name of Apple. According to Business Insider, Apple is in talks to purchase the social commerce site. The purpose of the acquisition would be for Apple to place it’s foot further into the eCommerce space. And considering Apple’s failure in Ping, they are desperatley trying to get back into the social market.
Virtual image pinboard Pinterest is all the rage these days. It’s taken off like wildfire to much praise. I myself have doubted it success, however, it seems that Pinterest seems to be going strong. One thing though that has come up over and over again about Pinterest is that it’s used mostly by the female demographic, with women’s fashion, food recipes and the like dominating the space.
I think I need to change professions, because this guy is making a buttload of money doing some shady, yet legal work. The Daily Dot interviewed one person, who using a network of spam bots has created a lucrative business from the new social pinning network.
