Hi Folks,

Just curious to hear if people are using Pinterest for research purposes? It is basically a program that takes a snap shot of a website and 'pins' the image to a notice board which has a given theme.

I like the concept, but question how useful it will be. Will it turn me into a online hoarder of all things that 'might' be useful or will it help turn me into the slick, innovative, state of the art research student that I aspire to be?

Any thoughts on this the use of Pinterest?

I use twitter to stay up to date with my sector and this seems to work ok, although it can also be a great time sink. Could this be another diversion tactic sent my supervisors to test us?
