Instagram, Pinterst, Tumblr? What is this stuff?

[Topkat]

What are Instagram, Pinterst, & Tumblr??? Do I need to join these? Bad enough I am doing Facebook & Twitter......I don't know if I can handle any more of this stuff? Will I be missing out if I don't join these?

Can one of you techies please explain these to me & what are the advantages to signing up with them...I just feel overloaded with all this stuff...

I'm with you TK on these...I've never even heard of Tumblr?...I have heard of Instagram but have no idea what it is and don't think I care...I had a friend talk to me about signing up on Pinterest...I went to the site and all I saw was a bunch of pictures...could never figure out what the point of it is...?

Tumblr is where you can blog and post pictures, reblog stuff, pretty cool IMO. Never tried Pinterest or Instagram though

Tumblr is a blogging site where you can post pictures, text and whatnot. It's geared way more towards teenagers and young adults... which is why I have a Tumblr blog. (Not much of an Eagles fandom there, either, which is kind of disappointing.)

Instagram is basically where you can put filters on a photo to make it look cool, and then post it to Facebook or Twitter. I don't use it.

I'm actually not entirely sure what Pinterest is, actually... I don't use that either. Something to do with pinning things into groups according to what you like.

I don't think you'd be missing out on much if you didn't join these sites. Facebook and Twitter are basically the big two that are important!

I don't use any of these sites. My understanding of pinterest is that its kind of like an online bulletin board that you pin your interests to for followers to see. Tori and EL have a better understanding of Tumblr and Instagram than I do.

I don't think you're missing anything by not signing up to them.

I look at pininterest sometimes. There a lots of pictures of recipes, hair styles, pictures, sayings, room designs, clothing designs, people, etc. You can click on one and get more information. You don't have to join. I was going to but never saw the need.

I don't have a clue about the others.
