Yeah.....thanks for the tips, I have an ipad and it is twice as hard to do the pinning thing than is is on Computer. I take my ipad with me everywhere so this whole Pinterest thing is just up my alley. I love to create boards of things I really love and that is the whole idea. I have looked at a lot of accounts and some people have the Etsy square filled in well but all the other squares are just empty. They are not in the true spirit of what this whole thing is all about. I know you are not, You have lots of great things to offer in your other squares. the whole concept is to create YOUR world in pictures. Not just what you make and put it in square number one.
Have you read the dialogue in the very first thread way back last spring on this team from the captain it is so great. they are trying to figure this whole thing out and they have these really great boards . I checked into many people's sites from way back , nice stuff to check out. If we abuse this site and FLOOD it with just anything and everything ETSY ...worse yet...solid boards of only our stuff, then we stand a chance in the future when how many thousands of Etsians do just that and then where will this site be? This may seem impossible to you but I live in Monterey where at one time there were so many sardines they couldn't catch and can them fast enough. the scientists predicted that the Canning companies in Cannery Row would soon fish out all the sardines. No one believed them. They didn't listen , they just kept on fishing.....and then...sure enough one day there were no more sardines to be found. They had to close up the whole Row!
Everyone lost their jobs, and there were no more sardines. It became a ghost town.
They were not moderate.
I know most people don't want to hear this, or may not even know, but it is a sad fact that if we abuse this Pinterest site..they may take our addiction away ,...then where will we be? What if all we looked at was only Etsy stuff? It could potentially become that if we all work hard enough. There are so many of us working like little bees to get our things promoted that we could by accident over crowd this once balanced site. Think about it.
I know it's late and I should probably go to bed but I guess it just was bothering me and I needed to let it out. I just hope everyone who reads this takes a few moments to see the whole overall picture. You can read about this topic in the threads posted out where admin speak to us. Many really smart Etsians have many threads on this very subject. I am just trying to bring a bit of awareness to our group. I know I'm not the leader but I have never met the leader. I feel though as a member I have the right to express my thoughts. I hope we can refrain best as we all can to not abuse the rules that they have written for us and we can continue to be a welcome crowd and have many things to offer not just Etsy finds but everything else we love to treasure and share.Keep a good balance. Lets not tip over our ship! Going to sleep now, Goodnight !
