I have a question.. dont laugh
What is Pinterest?? and how does it work? I see so many posts about it but Im confused and lost as to what it is...All I have figured out is that you have to be invited by email..?
Thanks
Re: I have a question.. dont laugh
Virtual bulletin board/social network. You see something you like on a website (recipe, craft, whatever), click the pin it button, write in your comment and pick a category, and it adds it to your boards.
It's like bookmarking favorites...only gives you a photo. (Which I really like...)
You can "follow" people...when you follow someone the things they pin show up on your homepage so if you like it you can *like* it, or re-pin it.
Sorry if I have confused you.
LOL I'm addicted.
It is kinda like all of your favorite links in one picture space.
I know for me, when I like something I find online, I save it to my favorites, or bookmarks.
But, when you do that (for me) when I am looking for something again, I sometimes have to click on many links because I can't remember which link corresponds to what items.
So, pinterest allows you to do that same thing, but in PICTURE form. So, just like your bookmarks, you can have folders. Each "pin" is a picture of something you like - but, the picture is actually a LINK to the original item.
So, instead of clicking on links in your favorites, you have an entire folder of pictures. Then you can see everything in one spot, and click on the pic for more info if needed.
But, what is also great about it is the search. Think about it this way - sometimes when I am searching for something on google, I will do an image search instead (I am a visual person). But - - sometimes I don't find what I am looking for pages!
Since people are only "pinning" things that they love, it is much easier to find great things. Not page after page of google images that have nothing to do with what I searched for.
Once you sign up, you install their "pin tool" which allows you to add items that YOU love to your boards. Things that you find on blogs, your favorite websites, etc.
It IS a sharing site, so once you pin it, it will be shared with your followers and everyone else on pinterest. You can connect with your facebook friends. This way you see their pins, they will see yours, etc.
You can have several boards...clothes, recipes, crafty items, quotes, party ideas, etc, etc.
Just a warning - once you get on it, it is so addicting LOL.
RIght now, it is an invite thing - you can post your e-mail (or PM) and someone on here would send you an invite
I love it, I have gotten so many ideas for my girls' birthday party.
Sorry this turned out to be a novel
My Blog
MyColonyNJ, that was an awesome description. I should've said THAT to my H when he asked what pinterest is. Instead, I got done describing it and he said "so is it a blog, then?"
