In this week’s Sunday ads, Walmart is showcasing Halloween items. They also display Halloween creations made with the on-sale items. You might be thinking, “Hey, that’s pretty cool. I wonder how’d they make it?” Looking on the ad page, Walmart has included directions for the creations…on Pinterest.

Surprisingly, Pinterest. Yes, Pinterest. That Pinterest, the visual bookmarking site that had its start with crafters. I joined in April of 2011 and not finding pins that strongly piqued my interests, I started pinning stuff that I was attracted to, namely kicks. Of my various Pinterest boards, my Kicks Pinboard is the most active with 573 pins and over 2600 followers.

That amount of followers easily eclipses any of my other social networks, Twitter, Instagram, Google+, and even Plurk (my favorite social networking underdog). So whatever magic and mojo Pinterest possess, I can attest to it.

Them bright minds (and great customer service) at Zappos are at it again. We all should have seen this one coming since it makes so much sense. Pinterest continues to be a scorcher where users visually pin their likes, styles, and inspirations. Zappos’s new service called PinPointing takes a Pinterest profile and based on pins, makes recommendations for products available from Zappos. Utter genius!

Here’s what PinPointing pinpointed for me.

]]> 18001 Integrating Pinterest with Your Blog? https://www.pulpconnection.net/2012/05/integrating-pinterest-with-your-blog/ Mon, 14 May 2012 18:29:37 +0000 https://www.pulpconnection.net/?p=16351 That sounds like a great idea! Pinterest is hot right now, and I admit that I don’t quite grasp the hype. Oh, I am a Pinterest user but primarily to see what’s it all about. What I do know is that things I pin like kicks and Draw Something “artwork” generate activity without having to do much else. Wouldn’t it be great to perhaps direct this activity to your own blog? That’s what WP Pinner aims to do. Watch this one-minute video for some details.

Autopost to Pinterest, scheduled pins, and analytics on pins all for free? Yep, check out WP Pinner.
