What would Mary pin?
Once upon a time, a guy named Ben and his friend Paul had an idea. They thought it would be phenomenal if there was a place where people could create and share virtual catalogs or bulletin boards of things they like, with strangers. From that thought, came a little social networking website called Pinterest . It's like a birth story, only with a lot less goo. Trouble is - not everyone "gets it". At least not at first - as evidenced by a Facebook conversation that I recently witnessed on my ticker. Some of the chit chat has been altered and the names have been changed to characters from The Mary Tyler Moore Show - for the sake of privacy. Other than that, this is all is mostly true. Sort of. Rhoda : Um, wtf is Pinterest? Phyllis : I'll send you an invite. You will love it. Mary : It's highly addictive. omg. Ha. Ha. Ha. No. Seriously. Phyllis : Yeah. I totally forgot to mention that. Okay, invite sent. Sue Ann : I can't stop doing it!...
