Has Pinterest more to say than Twitter?

Pinterest is a pin board style photo sharing website that allows users to create and manage theme based posts, for example you can have a "kitchen" board with pictures of all the styles and colours you like - these are known as "pins". You can have as many boards as you like and can share images by re-pining a picture you like. With Twitter, you have the same idea only using letters. You get to "tweet" using 140 characters. And these can be re-tweeted of the reader finds them interesting/funny etc. Pinterest although slow to take off, it seems to have embedded itself into a certain type of internet user. It can be used by anyone - if your interested in cooking you not only can have different boards, Pinterest allows you to see the entire content that you have recently shared, which if you cant find that particular receipe can be handy. If a picture is worth a thousand words, Pinterest can be used in fields never thought possible. There is a new "visual medical encyclopedia" that will use pinterest's pictorial navigation system. Pinterest does seem to have the edge on Twitter - but not by the user numbers. Lorra
