Do you use Pinterest to find products for your projects?

I have been using Pinterest since a week or so.  Upon reading more about pinterest, I have found that most of the users are females and the site currently has major content related to day to day use.

But I like the interface and would be wonderful to have the projects, block diagrams, and board pictures pinned on various walls.  I love the concept though!  Pinning the interest of engineering community would be really interesting to be a part of.

Thanks for posting the discussion.  We can come to know about how many of us are using pinterest or are even aware of it!

Oooh, careful - note who started this thread...!!

site currently has major content related to day to day use.

I think the same was true of Facebook & Twitter at the start...?

Anyhow, I've just started trying-out Pinterest - see what you think:

I started wondering how Pinterest might be applied to electronics development?

One thing I found when starting with Pinterest is how few electronics companies - Farnell included - provide anything "pinnable" on their pages!

The best I could find for my "Suppliers" board was a picture of the Farnell catalogue:

And Element14 is mostly males, are you suggesting that it's a place us geek's can go to pick up girls?

Never heard of it, but I will be checking it out today!! Looks interesting.

awneil,

Very cool!  I think this is the first example I've seen of a electronics engineering pinboard!  I've started following you and looking forward to checking out all the future developments!  Looks like you're a pioneer in this space

Thanks for your input!

Hi Nicole,

I took a look at the website and while it look quite eclectic, I decided it was not a place I would like to spend searching.

I get side tracked too easily and I only have a limited time I can spend on the computer do to my disability, so I have to pass this one up for now.

Maybe later,

DAB

Thanks, Nicole!

You're right!  I couldn't find many other electronics/engineering boards to follow - so I'm just feeling my way!

never heard of it.  checked it out and its interesting.  I dont see me using it currently but maybe in the future.

Havn't heard of it before; checked it out; its kind of interesting. I have to admit I don't keep up with FB or G+ as it is, or the other upteen posting sites I am in; not sure if I would follow it either. but it is good to know it is there.

I just have a look at the Pinterest website its cool for those who have other interest, but not for those who have an electronics interest. its might not be a place for me thanks.
