Vancouver 2010 Olympic Pins: Official Facebook Pin

As an almost graduate of a Vancouver web design school I needed to work during the 2010 Olympics here in Vancouver.  I have been in the heart of the downtown madness, working as a concierge. I have found out that pin trading is a vibrant and long lived tradition in the Olympics. Like most things that people (other than me) are excited about, I thought at first that it was kinda stupid. But I’m starting to really get in to it. Apparently there are even rules about how to wear pins if you want to trade. Someone told me that if you wear pins on the left breast it means you want to trade them and on the right breast means that you don’t…

Either way, I am doing some research about it and plan to share some of the cool pins I’ve gotten here at the Olympics. One of the most interesting ones is the official Facebook “I’m a fan” pin.

I find it incredible that in the interactive age we live in that people are still sooooooo excited about pins!?
