>In other words, Pinterest’s busy design may create an information-overload for men. “If this was a magazine, they’d turn the page,” Ms. Meyers-Levy said. “It works for females because they like detail, they like more complexity.”

Not sure who they studied here, but I love high information density. Sparse metro interfaces and blank pages with one thing on them are far, FAR more likely to make me move on to something else. I've stopped reading more than one site when they suddenly went from high to low information density. Of everyone I know, male and female, not one has a good thing to say about low information density.

Not a Pinterest user because I always had the perception it was recipes and fashion, but might be more interested to look now.



Maybe it's your group of friends? Lots of folks I know seem to appreciate the cleaner sparse designs, larger fonts etc... It seems a lot a easier to just move your thumb and scroll than zoom in or squint tbh


Meh, I don't use touchscreens other than a phone, and even then, if I'm anywhere near a real computer instead, I'll use that over it.
