An archive of our #ToolsChat on Pinterest with an explanation of how the chat works
Posted on September 07, 2012 by @mqtodd
#ToolsChat update of Pinterest Tools from 5 September
I am blogging this to show you the flow of a Twitter chat from start to finish. I selected about 70 of around 1200 tweets. If I missed your tweets do not be offended I did it quickly and randomly!
Much to learn about Pinterest here too. Enjoy!
I am adding some comments during the tweets to show why I asked the questions I did and when. I use http://twebevent.com/toolschat to display questions, tips , news and instructions and to tweet from tweetchat which is imbedded into our twebevent site. We have had around 35,000 views on our twebevent page already.
We started #ToolsChat about 15 months ago to build a community of people who like to tweet and who like to know the latest online tools. We have a Facebook group as well that you may enjoy too

Like Pinterest? Join #pinchat NOW with @tribe2point0& #toolschat 7pm Pacific today with @twylah &@mqtodd Meet pinners & learn new tools!- Today`s #toolschat is about @Pinterest (still growing fast) Q1 How often are you using it and why? #pinchatI made this question to get participants involved. A simple question which is not yes or no but can be answered in 100 characters
A1. LOVE #Pinterest. Post a few times per week…#toolschat
A1 We use #Pinterest ea time we see an image that expresses the message of removing barriers in design that others need to see #toolschat
A1: I’ve slowed down due to schedule, but hope to pick back up now that there is an Android app. #toolschat
A1 Sadly, I don’t get to it very often, but I do love it.#toolschat
“@arabpestcontrol: Anyone offering thoughts on shared “group boards”? #toolschat”Careful who you invite Useful for project planning.
Hello all! I’m studying SM in #NewhouseSM4 with@dr4ward learning about Twitter chats. This is my 1st time participating. #toolschat
A1 I unfortunately am using it less. There are a lot of new tools and platforms. #toolschat- A1 Quickly learning Pinterest not just about photos. Networking, branding, bookmarking, SEO all happening#toolschat
- A1: I use it for personal and business use. I write a blog about Pinterest which has brought me clients.#toolschat
A1. Wasn’t using it much, though have started of lately. Thanks to @BekiWeki and @Tribe2Point0 to get me interested #toolschat
A1. I use Pinterest personally, but also for a nonprofit – one more free way to drive traffic to a cause! #toolschat- Ahhh have missed #toolschat !! What was wrong with me in August? Heatstroke? Q2 Pinterest username & what are your boards about?Another question to get people involved and tweeting and to connect more deeply with each other. Best to do this early as it will help bring their friends to the chat and everyone will see who is here. Will do more difficult questions next which there will not be so many answers to.
I’m tamcdonald on Pinterest (and most other places) Boards incl #cmgr #CoffeeTime and stuff you don’t care about (seriously) #toolschat

- OK nitty gritty Q3 What are your favorite tools for searching on Pinterest? #search #photos #sm#toolschatOur chat focus is tools
- A5 Reverse image search by Google or Pin Search Chrome extension ~ find the source for images and attribute #toolschat
What amazes me is how mainstream #Pinterest is….. it is just as popular with the older generations as the young. #toolschat- “@Sheresed: @OSPInteresting Would the image link to the post to drive traffic to blog? #toolschat” It sure can!
@LovelyLu What amazes ME is the people that are still dismissing #Pinterest. Just shooting themselves in the foot, IMO. #toolschat

- A4 @Pinreach is another tool to consider. I haven’t used in a while, but seems popular #toolschat
“@MalharBarai: @Tribe2point0 Reverse image search = Very important tool to know the image source!!#toolschat“- Q5 What general tools do you recommend for Pinterest? Please use their twitter handles if you know them#toolschatAttempted to attract the attention of Pinterest tools twitter accounts plus makes it easier for chat participants to search for them

- “@arabpestcontrol: A6 #Pinterest #tip Use hashtags within the title and Tweet your Pins! #toolschat“
I even brought the drinks! @michelejmartin@Twylah @ideabloke @Childhood @wordwhacker#toolschat pic.twitter.com/hyQUmbic
A6. You can mention a pinterest user just like on twitter by adding @username in your pins. #toolschat- A6 As everywhere on SM post & network on #Pinterestto get shared not simply to get seen once #tip #toolschat
- “@bekiweki: A6 Don’t pin all at once–it’s tempting to “pin all the pretty,” but frequent visits and steady activity wins. #toolschat“
- A6 Be consistent, edit boards ~ check for bad links, follow others, comment/like, have FUN:) #toolschat
- @Tribe2point0 The same can go for sharing–share only the best of the best pins on other SM platforms.#toolschat
- Pinterest definitely needs a @bufferapp function.#toolschat
- A6: When an image is pinned, it automatically pulls what’s in the atl tag of the image. Use this to your advantage on your site. #toolschat
Q6 Pin articles you have penned. Great way to drive traffic to your blog/writing #toolschat
Ans 6: It may sound cliched but it helps if anyone doesn’t get overdose of pics posted by u. . #toolschat- Q7 Will you use Pinterest more in the future? Why?#toolschatPeople are warmed up and are feeling more comfortable and are more likely to express opinions
- A7- probably. I love collecting ideas and I’m a visual person, it’s perfect for me. #toolschat
- a7: I plan on to but I know for a fact especially after tonight I will be updating my board #toolschat
- @mqtodd A7) I hope to use Pinterest more in the future. Still trying to be good at Twitter and Facebook! And maybe G+ too! #toolschat
- A7 Definitely more ~ excellent research tool, SO much data available #toolschat
- A7 definitely. @Pinterest helps me to create visual boards that I can use as inspiration for my work or projects. #toolschat
- Q8 What would you like to see as topics for #toolschatfor the rest of September? Have really enjoyed it today. Thank you!
