February 4, 2012 · Filed Under Reviews · Comment 

Just a year ago when I was moving into my first apartment, my cousin sent me an invite to a site she thought could help me shop for my new digs: Pinterest. I will admit: I played around with it, and I just didn’t get it; I was overwhelmed by images and I found the interface cluttered.  She said I was missing out on something great, and now I’m eating my words, as Pinterest is currently making waves.

Are you buying a big-screen TV for the big game?

February 2, 2012 · Filed Under Reviews · Comment
