I'm sure there have been plenty of trends like this, but it's the first one where I've really noticed the imagery move from one field to another -- so interesting. Like watching a meme spread. If YA is 5-10 yrs ahead, what's YA sci fi? :) Britney Spears’ Till the World Ends video is also fabulously dystopian.

Since the look and feel is consistent across the site, the focus is on the collected objects. But your wife is right, it has taken off! Pinterest already has as many daily page views as Tumblr, and it's rapidly turning into one of the biggest shopping portals out there...
