Pinterest is introducing a new feature that would allow the
user to take a photo, highlight an object in that photo, and find similar
objects through Pinterest. This technology, coupled with its “buy” button is
particularly dangerous for anyone saving for the holidays. Pinterest hopes that
this technology will provide new advertising opportunities for its investors
and increase site traffic. The feature would also allow for a more person
specific search.
This is a new product for Pinterest that gives the site more
dimension rather than a site for awesome recipes that you’ll probably never
make, but look pretty. Pinterest also has a one up on search engines like Google
because of the customized boards users create. Users provide that content that
the site just sorts through rather than the other way around. These boards link
with one another and allow users to gain access to hundreds of related pins.
This product is especially useful for when you don’t know the name of
something, but you know that you want it. I’ve been guilty if this feeling many
times and I am glad to see there is a technology that would allow me to find
that object or something similar. My wallet is not prepared for this new
addition.

This new addition sounds cool and convenient. When does this new feature come out?
ReplyDeleteJust checked and the new feature is currently out! You just have to click on the magnifying glass icon on the pin :)
DeleteThis is going to make me go really broke really fast
ReplyDeleteI seriously love this! I haven't gotten on Pinterest in quite some time, but I will definitely be on there soon!
ReplyDeleteThis is really awesome I've always wanted this feature. I always would do tons of searching to find one specific thing in the backround.
