What is Pinterest?

• Pinterest, social networking using online pinboard phenomena, burst onto the scene a couple of months ago. • 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.
