Titolo: Facebook, Twitter, e...

...Pinterest. Sì, non Google Plus, non Flickr, non Usenet (!), ma -udite 
udite!- Pinterest, la nuova rete sociale dove si mette un "pin", cioè una 
puntina nella propria bacheca, sulla foto dell'attore, della torta, della 
città, o del rossetto preferito, per condividerla col resto del mondo e 
raccontare visivamente i propri interessi. Non proprio "my cup of tea", 
eppure dicono (su Digital Trends) che sia questo il terzo social network più 
di tendenza del momento. Se davvero è così, e se come al solito anche 
l'Italia andrà al rimorchio dei trend americani, prepariamoci a imparare un 
nuovo nome e gli eventuali neologismi che potranno derivarne.
Forse diremo: "Bello 'sto gatto. Pinniamolo!", da non confondere, attenzione 
attenzione!, con "spenniamolo", che potrebbe avere tragiche conseguenze. :-(

It's been my experience and observation that Pinterest is favored mostly by 
females in the US. I have no interest in it. That doesn't mean I'm 
anti-esthetics (or "aesthetics," I might say, in this case) but I haven't 
seen any reason to take up the "cause" that Pinterest expounds.
 
I've read that it is more widely used by males in the UK than in the US 
(unattested) and I do know one gay male in the US who has "pinned" a few 
things in the past few weeks. (Not to make a comparison between all males in 
the UK and gay males in the US.)
 
Interesting to see what develops in Italy, but now I have to go to 
garzantilnguistica.com
 and look up 'spennare.' Thanks (maybe! I haven't seen 
the definition yet; if anyone tries to spennare il mio gatto I might have to 
fight back) for a new word in Italian.

Your cat seems to be a huge fan of Italy! Go Ketzl! :D
Besides, he must have some very polished manners, as he stands calmly in the 
middle of some vases, photo frames and clocks with no evident intention of 
causing havoc and mayhem! 
 

 causing havoc and mayhem! 
 
Well, he IS at least part Italian: his father is of Sicilian-Calabrese 
extraction (me); his mother unknown (he was a foundling.)
 
He was on his best behavior for those photos, which took place over a couple 
of years. In between he was a hellion, as clumsy as an ox at times, knocking 
over everything in his path. Those times, maybe he was just playing 
"Godzilla," or something, and my apartment was Tokyo. :)

C'è anche Thumb.it (ex opinionaided) che è molto diffuso, soprattutto 
come tramite l'applicazione per android. Buono per perderci qualche ora 
(in totale) e poi smettere di usarlo anche se, purtroppo, non esiste una 
procedura di cancellazione dell'account.

Chiedo scusa per gli errori nel post precedente :-S

 ...Pinterest. Sě, non Google Plus, non Flickr, non Usenet (!), ma -udite
 
mi hanno subito convinto a iscrivermi a pinterest, non l'ho MAI usato.
 
 
principalmente su internet io navigo o su facebook (e non puoi pinnare 
niente di facebook) o navigo WITH A PURPOSE IN MIND e allora mi scordo 
di pinterest.
 
se come dice joe principalmente č usato dalle donne, allora tutto torna: 
č usato da chi molto probabilmente non sono dei power user di internet 
:-)))))))))))))

Internet is changing. The net used to be guy stuff, but today it is not like that any longer: women are everywhere. 
Since the web is more "social", there are more things that interest ladies and girls, and they are taking over! :)  
Actually there only a few here on Usenet groups, but this is the "old" (grumpy?!) net! :D
Like Joey said, "Pinterest is favored mostly by females in the US". 
But even Facebook and Twitter are favored by women, who are more active than men when it comes to posting FB comments, adding photos, clicking the Like button, updating their status and profile, and so on.

 So far, "pinnare" was a slang word meaning "to do a wheelie on a motorbyke".
 
"motorbike"


non tocchiamo il tasto "impennare", che non mi riesce mai
di farlo... :(((

Or should I say "THE Internet is changing".

 Internet is changing. The net used to be guy stuff, but today it is not like that any longer: women are everywhere.
 
e meno male!
 
visto che non ci sono più gli oratori, se non ci fosse internet non ci 
sarebbero quasi più nuove relazioni sentimentali :-)

I heard about it on Click. Personally I use only Gippiu', I've never
been that much into social networks but when someone made me try G+ I
met some very nice people and I developed a real friendship with one of
them. So I guess social networks are not that bad after all. :)
