No, polyvore seems more about: a) creating a wishlist or b) finding some stock photo that already exists of a product you might own.
When I was really young cardomain was big (to view and to post if you had a cool car). People loved showing off what they owned+had customized and people loved seeing the cool things others had. It has to be a real photo, not some stock image from the product site. Some verticals where this would be pretty big:
- Cars (people love showing customizations off here)
- Clothing (tons of people make their own clothing or have rare items. for example, i collect/wear designer comic book tshirts).
- Computer gear ie- people who have overclocked, have custom cases, cooling systems,etc.
- "home improvement"- people would love to show off the cool things they've done to their house/own
- sneakers- ive never gotten into this, but people are obsessed with sneakers.
-diy crowd- if you attend maker faire, you probably have something to post.
There are probably tons of other verticals that would attract people.
To make it work, it would have to be really simple. 1) take picture of item via webcam (or upload) 2) <140 character description 3) share it. Also make it an endless clickstream of viewing random content from the consumption side. I would spend all day on this site.
