| Instead of stapling Lionel’s illustrious message to a phone pole, I pinned it to one of my virtual pin boards (under Gets and Giggles). |
How many times have you
been surfing the great WWW and found an image, recipe, idea, or inspiration that
you wish you had saved? Well,
now you can…if you’re on Pinterest!
Pinterest is a virtual pin board where you can save, share and organize
anything you find on the web.
The genius of Pinterest is that:
A. It's super easy --- all you have to do is add the “pin it”
button to your browser, click it when you see something you like, and Pinterest not only grabs the image, but also files it
onto one of your pinboards. Pinterest automatically grabs the source link so you
can credit the original creator.
 |
| see the "pin it" button on my browser -- it gets clicked a lot! |
B. It lets you organize and
name your own pinboards -- some people organize by colors, some people pin fashion, some people pin fonts, recipes, wedding ideas -- the list is endless. My pinboards, so far, are: Inspiration Station: for the many interiors that inspire me; Dream Home: for my one day, happily ever after house; Home Girl: for all the things I want for my home now; Amazing Pieces: for incredible pieces of furniture I see; Art I Heart: for the art I heart; and Gets and Giggles: for all the wild and crazy stuff that merits a laugh, a "wow" or an "um, weird?!."
C. It's just genius. Period, the end.
