Pinterest - Tapping into the Bowerbird in us all

The female Satin Bowerbird

Bowerbirds are most known for their unique courtship behaviour, where males build a structure and decorate it with sticks and brightly coloured objects in an attempt to attract a mate. Sounds a bit like Pinterest doesn't it?
The analogy is not quite true as yet because the majority (some figures suggest over 80%) of Pinterest users are women and a good deal of them are between 18 and 34 years of age. This would suggest to me that male Bowerbirds out there looking for mates would do well to start decorating their boards with interesting sticks and brightly coloured objects...And perhaps go to a yoga class as well. 


Interested in your thoughts on the matter... How are you using Pinterest?
