Pinteresting

Pinterest is a virtual pinboard that lets you share images or videos that interest or inspire you. It is a rising social network that looks to compete with the market’s main players. You can create an organised pinboard, where you can bring your own images or those of others together. Less of a professional network than Flikr, and with more functions, it can be used to collate inspiration for such things as redecorating your house or planning your wedding. Pictures have always captured people’s imagination and browsing other peoples’ pins is probably one of the most interesting features of the network: It throws up new discoveries, ideas and inspiration.  Pin etiquette includes be nice and avoid self promotion. As a growing network that looks to simply share, it has great potential for creative work and collaboration with others – bringing ideas and inspiration into one place.
