I had an epiphony, and I wanted to get some feedback...I want to make a website that's like Pinterest, but for professionals...It would be an Industry-specific 'pinboard'; instead of being just random stuff people find interesting on the internet, it's tailored to specific industries - like, coding, for example. (It could potentially be useful for other professions, but I originally thought of a site for the healthcare industry, as a start).
Pinterest, (for those of you have haven't gotten sucked in already) is a semi-social networking site & online pinboard - basically, you make your own board, and fill it with things you clip from around the internet - recipies, decorating ideas, funny pictures, clothes you like, etc. (There's an article about it on CNN, here: http://www.cnn.com/2012/01/26/tech/w...iref=allsearch). You can also follow other people's boards, re-pin stuff you like, and comment on pins.
What if you had a place like that, for coding stuff? I can think of a ton of things that I've searched and referenced, that I'd love to be able to catalogue in 1 place - articles from different sources, links to websites, great PDF files, charts, payer policies, and so on...Just being able to organize it all, would be awesome, on its own.
Plus, the ability to share info that's helpful to everyone, across a network of other HIM professionals, has obvious benefits, as well. I'm seriously working to make something like this happen, but I wanted to get some thoughts on it...
What do you think - Pinterest for the Coding Industry (Pindustry...lol) - is it something you'd use?
