Establishing a new item on Pinpointer is just a matter of pasting in its URL, adding a bit of identifying information, and selecting the categories you want to recommend the item under.

Your recommendations become easy to find—no matter when you made them.

Other services make it hard to find your recommendations once time passes.

Most social content curation tools—and even most blogs—present all your recommendations in a single, undifferentiated lump, where:
  • If people choose you, they can't indicate anything about the type of content they'd like.
  • People may also have to wade back in reverse chronological order through everything you've ever posted—whether or not it contained a link to an online content item.

Pinpointer enables people to go straight to what they want.

When you add your recommendations to Pinpointer, they're supported by a rich set of content discovery tools that keep them as easy to find as the day you posted them. Among the ways people can access your picks are:
  • By content type (for example, "Music You Can't Hear in a Stadium (Yet)" or "Writing That's Not for Supermarket Magazines")
  • By meta-subject (e.g., "Under-Remarked Trends, Developments & Issues" or "Glimpses into the World's Workings")
  • By attitude or approach (from "Tests of Whether You Snort When You Laugh" to "Music You've Got to Move To")

Pinpointer gives you your own free, dedicated personal recommendations gallery.

  • It has its own unique URL.
  • You link to it from the other sites where you recommend content.
  • It has a built-in suite of content discovery tools.
  • Clicking this link gives people a convenient way to enjoy the cumulative set of all your recommendations—regardless of when you made them, or where.
