Social media sites are a dime a dozen it seems like. Whether it is Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Myspace (remember that?), you can take your pick of how you want to spend your time on the internet. I have mainly used Facebook and Twitter just because that is what I am comfortable with. I looked into Tumblr, but it just wasn't for me. I don't have a reason, it just didn't look like something that I was going to like using. Another very popular site is Pinterest. You all know what it is, I don't need to explain it.
After searching for something similar to Pinterest but 'for men', I have come up empty handed. Don't get me wrong, there are a few sites that are geared as 'Pinterest, but for men'. I have looked into them. They are not great. Lots of pictures of guns, fully naked or half naked women, lots of sexist jokes and pictures, grilling tips, sports, and lots of things revolving around bacon. If you're into that, cool, be my guest. There are some fun and useful things on those sites, but so few and far between that it isn't really worth the time nor the energy. Get a bunch of guys together to make up a website's content, and what would you expect? Nothing but what I described earlier in the paragraph.
So, I looked into Pinterest. It wasn't like I was avoiding it because 'Pinterest is stupid' or 'Pinterest? You mean where all the women go to put pictures up? ' I just kind of gave up on using a social media site like it. And while I was sitting around today on my day off, I thought about it. I thought about it because I didn't have anything better to do. So I checked it out. And I made an account. Just to have one. I have found a few interesting things so far. I don't know how much I will use it, but it's there because it is more useful than the 'Pinterest for men' sites.
