    Hi ,

    It seems like Apps, Pinterest and Kindle(Maybe instagram) are very trendy these days.

    What do you think about these topics?Investing to these topics is a right choice?

    Thanks.

    If I had to pick one of the three, I would say Pinterest. It's a great place to reach a targeted audience.

    Why not invest your time and energy in something you are passionate about?

    If you want to know what's trending go to yahoo.com or twitter.com and check out their trending topics.

    "Apps" is a broad term used to refer to multiple things, Mobile Apps have been "hot" for 5+ years and it's a very saturated, but long lived market. "Web Apps" which work on all kinds of devices (including desktops/laptops and mobile devices) are less common and are emerging. Common sense prevails here, offering a single UI & only having to develop something once for multiple targets will always win out. (Universality, Generalisation)

    "Pinterest" is a website, of which are there many which follow a common model, like "TheFancy" and countless more, essentially this is just the approach of giving a visual summary to a larger piece of content and providing a UI where people can easily share and bookmark the item. Alternatively viewed as delicious style bookmarking using images and multimedia rather than text based descriptions. It's hot-ish, but not that hot or worth following.

    Kindle is an old tech, and you may as well just say "digital books for X device" - big, not huge, and not yet generalised - watch out for cross device digital books without usage restrictions / which are transferable.

    Instagram is also old, again it's just a website / service used to share images with a few filters over them. It's used, but not amazing to leverage.

    In short, all you've done is picked some old buzz words which don't really "mean" anything, and which certainly are not "hot" (well, not any more, perhaps with the exception of "pinterest" when used as a generalised term for a specific style of website).

    Hmmm. Depends what you mean by 'investing'.

    If you build up some kind of business, you can definitely use each of these tools in your strategy to build your business. That way you're not limited to these tools when they fizzle out and new tools take their place. Gives you a bit more agility, and little more power having all those tools work together to build up your business/site/whatever.

    Marketing through Google + is also widely discussed among IMs.

    Pinterest is the new flavor of the month... or possibly year etc lol... It seems like a great way to get traffic from what so many people are saying (although I can not validate that through my own experience). I don't personally use Pinterest because the primary demographic is not the audience for the types of products I am promoting, otherwise I would jump all over it.

    That's my two cents - hope it helps :)
