What is Pinterest?
It’s a social networking site based solely on photos. Pinterest, the latest social phenomena
to hit the masses, is a sharing platform in which you “pin” pictures to your
board. The picture-sharing site allows you to create categories of photographs,
pin your pictures, and share them with other people. In addition to pinning
pictures, you can also pin videos, share monetary gifts, and join discussion
groups.
To quote Pinterest directly:
“Pinterest is a Virtual Pinboard. Pinterest lets you organize
and share all the beautiful things you find on the web. People use pinboards to
plan their weddings, decorate their homes, and organize their favorite
recipes. Best of all, you can browse pinboards created by other people.
Browsing pinboards is a fun way to discover new things and get inspiration from
people who share your interests. To get started, request an invite.”
Pinterest asks that you request an invitation to join their
community – this usually takes 24-48 hours to facilitate.
Who uses Pinterest?
The answer to this question is simple –
everyone and anyone. As stated previously, Pinterest started as a platform for
everyday users who wanted to organize and share their pictures with the world.
Since then, business owners have began to see the potential of the platform and
are now using it to market their products and distribute their brand messages
There are
several different reasons that one might use Pinterest:
To share photos with family and friends.
