• Mon, 11:30: Pinterest: 20,000 people bookmarking pictures of "cute hair" plus 20,000 SEO dweebs trolling the new thing plus 25 people with content

"SEO" refers to "Search Engine Optimization," or phrases and other options designed to drive traffic to websites. There are tons of people out there who are paid to discover, exploit, and write about ways to "game" the complex search engine world so that people don't find what they are actually looking for, and instead find what you want them to find (ie: stuff that gets their client paid.)

These guys are SEO dweebs. Interestingly, a way to discover a ton of them is to tweet sarcastically using the term "SEO," and then they will all "follow" you. I'm not sure if they collectively fail to understand sarcasm, or if they are just that cynical and self deprecating... Honestly it doesn't matter to me.

PINTEREST, on the other hand, is a very nifty social image bookmarking site. I've been using it for a few months, and it is a very nice way to discover things to look at on the internet, or at least it was, until celebrities started mentioning it on talk shows, and now it has gone the way of a lot of other forms of social media, hence my comment above about SEO dweebs and people putting up links of "cute hair!"
