Why Pinterest might not be a great site to promote your work.

I was thinking of showing off some of my more mainstream work via Pinterest. I was thinking, "Great! Another new (and increasingly popular) social networking site that can help me promote stuff". But then when I encountered this article in Google, I had to pause from doing anything else in the site and eventually I abandoned my account.

Also while reading Pinterest's Etiquette Page, I somehow realize going here defeats the main purpose of posting pictures to share. You post at the risk of being sued by some moron who contests the ownership of the photos you yourself took. But then, Pinterest can do whatever it wants with your photo.

One look at Google and there are growing people - especially photographers against Pinterest. This one is also enlightening.

That's in the TOS of almost every major SM website. :twocents:

i dont think this will deter most people

We're trying to use it more as a place for them to show off their personality, with occasional SFW photos. So far, it's been a nice little addition to social media, but not the primary focus.

yeah soon it will be old news like twitter

Cool story, bro.

LOL!

I have you on ignore, but I edited my post and see you quoted it before I had a chance.
