Interesting article about Pinterest use and gender. Also interesting because they talk quite plainly about their data collection method.

  I find this concept of academic microcelebrity fascinating. It makes me question why we do the things we do. Are we trying to become microcelebs? Or to have a meaningful impact on our fields -- which may involve finding new ways of doing things, collaborating with others, etc.

A systematic analysis of my public writing makes the case that as academics are increasingly called to “publicly engage,” we have not fully conceptualized or counted the costs of public writing from various social locations.

  This statement really resonates with me -- I feel like the notion of being a public scholar has been tossed around and is valued in name, but few people are taking the time to really explore what it might mean. Further, the systems in which we operate as academics (tenure and promotion systems, hiring, evaluation) are such that publicly engaging may be just as likely to backfire on the individual as it is to support the individual.

Pinterest usage statistics. I knew this before using it, so I was a little hesitant. It didn't immediately "click" with me. After trying it out again, I have found it much more interesting. I added my wife as an editor to the board and it has proved to be a good way to share information about a topic of mutual interest.

I think it's pretty good for anyone working in a visual medium. (Today I'm planning to issue a Pinterest Challenge)

I totally believe it! Many women have alternative lives on Pinterest. It's a world many of us probably wished we lived. LOL!

I have a friend who works in advertising. He uses Pinterest when doing research for ad campaigns. I think this is a good example of someone "working in a visual medium" as Dr. Dennen suggested.
