I’ve been a fan of Plagiarism Today for a while now and here’s what author Jonathan Bailey has to say about Pinterest’s recently announced Analytics:

Whether you think it’s for good or ill, there’s a good chance your content has a much wider audience on Pinterest than the analytics say. The problem is that, without watermarking, it’s an audience that can’t find its way back to you.

My opinion you wonder? Well, I agree with him. The Pinterest Analytics are lacking, but they are all we’ve got for now so do with them what you can.

Last week I published a post Introducing Pinterest Web Analytics. At that time, I switched to Pinterest’s New Look. I’m not liking it and let me just say right now it is not because it is different. I’m not one of those ‘you changed it so I hate it’ kind of people.

I do like the larger images and the changes in menu and navigation don’t bother me at all. What I don’t like is:

1. When I pin, it no longer has the option of sharing the pin on Twitter. I don’t know if it has the option to share on Facebook because I was testing with High Aspirations, Inc.’s Pinterest account which, because it is a company, connects to Pinterest via Twitter and not a personal Facebook account. See the screenshot.
2. When I pin from High Aspirations, Inc. Tech Talk, the window that pops-up has to be re-sized to see the Pin It button. It wasn’t like that before. This was in Internet Explorer, so it might be just a browser-specific problem.
3. I was unable to get ‘Add a Pin’ to load in Internet Explorer. Later, I was able to do this in Google Chrome. I don’t know if this was a temporary issue with Pinterest or a problem with my needs-to-be-upgraded IE. I did not test using Firefox, my browser of choice, because I don’t want to be logging in and out of my personal Facebook and Pinterest accounts just to use Pinterest for High Aspirations, Inc. so I use other browsers for that work. I know, very geek of me!
4. If any of the images on my website aren’t the size Pinterest prefers, it is now picking a color from the image and filling in the background. Sounds OK right? Well, I think it looks terrible. See the screenshot and judge for yourself.

I’ve switched High Aspirations, Inc.’s Pinterest account back to the old look. I hope Pinterest fixes this stuff before they force us all to go live with the New Look.

Just one Web Chick’s opinion. You are entitled to your own and are welcome to let me know what it is via a comment.
