Boys tumble and girls pin

Photo-PinupGirls1Short harmless post today.
I’m taking an in-deptyh look at Pinterest, a tool I’ve been using in the past as a simple “place to collect stuff”, but which I’d like to turn into a more hands-on resource for my writing, and not just as a promotional tool.
I’ll keep you posted as soon as something develops, but in the meantime… while I was crawling through the web reading articles, I stumbled on some interesting demographics.
Looks like Pinterest is a girl’s best friend, in terms of social networking and media sharing.
70% of the useres, they tell me, are female.
I wonder why.
Male users seem to stick to Tumblr or Flickr.
Curious.
I mean, this will not change the way I look at the Pinterest utility, but…
Now the fun bit of being both a scientist and a writer, is the fact that my first reaction is… why?
I’m still looking for a viable explanation.
