  1. Scientists to survey scientists about science: bit.ly/xubciY

  3. @lau_merritt Ah, okay, I've only spent ten minutes on it tops...maybe the dresses start appearing once you reach quarter of an hour...
  4. @damienohmygod Well, the one he mentioned...obviously ;-)
  5. @lau_merritt No, it's interesting to get the negative perspective...something to mention when I blog about it next ;-)
  6. @lau_merritt yes, that's what I alluded to in the original post, I suspect that's negative PR puff though...I'm yet to see a wedding dress.
  7. @lau_merritt Indeed.
  8. @AmplicateInfo Ridiculous page using Hertz car rental logo in discussion about Hertz the scientist. Bad.
  9. @lau_merritt Yep. Personally, I can live with some of the cons if the pros help me spread the word about science more widely...
  10. @lau_merritt It's not very different from StumbleUpon it seems, except that you pin a photo from a page rather than the complete page.
  11. @lau_merritt Hmmm...one cannot self promote, yet they're monetizing one's pins?
  12. @lau_merritt Yes, but if you're promoting even your own personal brand, no benefit?
  13. @lau_merritt These things too shall pass. No one will know about any of it in a thousand years, or at least they'll have mere fragments.
  14. @lau_merritt To some twitter is old hat and has celeb baggage, others either don't know tumblr or see it as a teenybopper site now.
  15. @lau_merritt Well, there is certainly that, but the photos have links...so it's a potential driver for traffic and SEO and all that stuff.
  16. .@lau_merritt Hmm. Yes. Darker and darker. I'm starting to feel a little disPinterested in it now...
  17. @TMA7 @lau_merritt Yes, I have new glasses now I should be fine with the fine print...
  18. @lau_merritt Yes, I think they're all at it to be honest...
  19. @TMA7 @lau_merritt You agree? Something similar with YFrog last year, I believe and DropBox!
  20. A couple of reasons not to use Pinterest j.mp/xBSNOe HT @lau_merritt
