According to Pinterest, their mission is to "connect everyone in the world through the 'things' they find interesting. We think that a favorite book, toy, or recipe can reveal a common link between two people. With millions of new pins added every week, Pinterest is connecting people all over the world based on their shared tastes and interests."
This site isn't exactly "new," but it's certainly new to me. So how does it work? Pretty simply! It's a virtual pinboard, so when you see something online that you want to remember for later you "pin it." The "pin it" option is added to your web browser after you sign up and is easily done in just a few steps. Pinners create different pin boards to help categorize. For example, I have "For the Home" to pin ideas regarding decorating my house, "For the Foodie" for recipes and food ideas, "Tone it Up" for workout inspirations and more. AND on top of "pinning" items you find online yourself, you can follow other pinners and see what they've added recently. You can like items, comment, or choose to re-pin.
After being an avid pinner for the last 2 or 3 weeks I'm totally in love. I just wish I knew about this when I was planning my wedding. Pinterest would have been a great way to organize all my ideas! Because I wish someone would have shared this with me sooner, I've decided to share it with you. Find it, join it and pin away! For those already pinning, what do you like most about the site?
