Title: Pinterest

So I've been talked into giving Pinterest a try.  Apparently most of the users are middle aged women (and 90% of the content seems to be pictures of landscapes and people with pretty hair...), but I don't see any reason it has to stay like that.  Lets post indie games!

This is me (not much too see yet!)

Please post links to your pinterest page and recommend indie game / gamedev boards!

I got a surprisingly large amount of traffic from pinterest to my game's website (http://www.popme1.com). Pinterest is definitely a good medium for promoting visual stuff like games.

How did you do it?  Or was it pure accident?

The game looks crazy and cool by the way!

Your greenlight banner covers part of your vimeo video (some text, wanted to read it, it was blocked, it annoyed me enough for comment for some reason).  Not to get off topic, but why vimeo instead of youtube?  Vimeo isn't free for commercial use the last time I looked, so if you are using it to sell something (like a game) you have to pay, youtube is specifically free for such use.
