Hey jeswin, first of all thank you for joining and giving it a try, it is really cool you giving it some of your time and helping out with some feedback. The question you ask is a very good one, and I guess one I was sort-of expecting, here is how I see evemi and why I think it is unique..

evemi is a platform for hanging out with new people that are similar to you, whereas I see Pinterest as more for self-expression. On evemi you follow the # hash-tag pages over following people (even though this is possible too) and anyone can post to these hash-tag pages too. I see the pages on evemi as individual communities that anyone can contribute to and follow and be a part of.. So for example if you are a designer you can reach out and post to the #design community on evemi and get some feedback and collaborate with other people around the world into design like you. The original idea was that I wanted a way to communicate with new people like me and I thought other people out there might feel the same way.

I guess I see evemi much like the forums we all grew up on and loved back in the good ol' days - it is a place to meet similar people and have a discussion around a shared interest.

Would love to know your thoughts on all of that jeswin - do you think there is something in all of that or do you think I am way off the mark lol!

"Hang out with people that are similar to you" is a great one-liner. You should open with that instead of "follow the things that you love".
Nice point depa, I think I have tried every one liner I can think of over the past few weeks but yeah I think you are right - after all that is what evemi is all about probably over following the things you love, thanks for that point.. Can't believe that after all of the this time searching for a good one-liner lol!
Thanks. Let me go through the app in more detail and will let you know.
Okay jeswin, looking forward to seeing what you think after a bit of a better look at it.
