Pinterest

Pinterest is revolutionizing blogging.

It brings archives back to life. It breaks down cliques and levels the playing field. It will reignite your passion for online community and information sharing.

If you are a blogger, joining and participating in Pinterest is the most powerful thing you can do to grow your audience, your traffic and your love of social media.

Janice and I resisted the Pinterest pull for months, worried that we didn’t have time to add another social media channel into our already crazy busy lives.

But we gave in. And we’re glad we did. If you haven’t yet, you should. You’ll need an invitation since it is still invite-only, leave us a comment on our most recent Pin It Friday and we’ll send you one.

Kelby created the Linky List below for Pinterest Profiles so that we can all find each other. You can add your profile link below and it will show on her original post and anywhere else the link list appears. She has it set to randomize the order each time this linky loads.
