Pinterest: Your Interests in a Picture Social Network


So, something that has come across my radar recently is Pinterest, and I have to say that I am a fan.

Pinterest is a new social media fad that was originally popular with crafters and do-it-yourselfers. This social network allows you to create a "board" and then "pin" pictures to it. Your board could be "Books Worth Reading" (my first board of pins lol) and each one would be filled with pictures with a short description underneath them.

The thing that makes this different than other social networks is the focus on pictures instead of text. It also cites the web page that you got the picture from automatically.

If you have interests that would look cool in a picture format, or you just want to browse what others have set up, take a look at Pinterest.
