I signed up for Nuclino and joined the EME-6414 group, and I really like it as an organizational tool! I love that all of the social media tools we are using in this course are on the EME page. I was starting to feel a little overwhelmed keeping track of them all, and that gave me a bit of relief!
I have had Pinterest for quite some time. I used it to plan my wedding, I collect recipes there, and I also keep a page for my Stitch Fix subscription, so the stylists can see the type of clothing I prefer. I really like Pinterest as a bookmarking tool ,but I never really thought of it as a social media platform. I don't actually know who I follow on Pinterest, and I usually just search for whatever I'm looking for or pin from other sites. I don't scroll through to see what others are posting, and I am wondering if there are people who do do that.. Maybe I've been doing it wrong!
I've also had Quora for some time, but I have not posted much on the site (surprised, I'm sure!). I do lurk and read sometimes, though, much like I have with Reddit. I just find the questions and responses on both platforms to be really interesting. I like to seek different perspectives on various topics, and both Quora and Reddit are great places to do that. One area i which they differ is that it seems Quora has a lot more international users, which provides an even broader scope of opinions. I like to see how differently people from various parts of the world answer the same question. It makes me reflect on my own assumptions and challenges my worldview.
I am not a huge Pinterest user and I see the "follow" option. I follow people and I think a few follow me, but I don't really look at posts from people I follow. I think I get notifications when they pin something to their boards though. I usually search one offs like you do as well.
