Pinterest.com is a fun and inspiring way to collect many ideas for many different reasons. Getting addicted to this website is very easy. As you browse through the different pages of photos, you find yourself getting lost in the Pinterest world. This website is not only a fun way to see all the different images that are out there but it has become a sensation for the wedding world. This new and fun website is a great tool to get inspired for your wedding day. Not only does it allow you to design your own pinboard but it allows others to comment on the images you have selected.
The idea of Pinterest began in December 2009 by a group of successful entrepreneurs and investors. This invitation-only site officially launched in March 2010. Pinterest’s mission and goals are based on the idea of connecting everyone in the world to “things” they find interesting. This new website allows users to organize and share all the things they find interesting on the web.
These pinboards can also be used for collecting ideas for decorating your home, finding your fashion style or saving favorite recipes. Users also have the option to browse pinboards created by other people. This is a great way to discover new things and get inspired by people who share common interests.
How the website works is users pin an image to Pinterest. A pin can be added from a website using the “Pin It” button or you can upload an image from your computer. When adding a new pin using the “Pin It” button, it links the image back to the site it came from giving the image its proper photo credit. Pinterest stays current with technology and social media and has recently added the “Pin It” button to the iPhone and Google Chrome.
This new website is gaining popularity with many people around the world and it also gives those fun collage exercises we used to do in school a new modern twist. For you, this new website is a great way to get ideas for your colors and themes. Pinterest is linked to any social media site, giving others the chance to comment and view your images.
In August 2011, Time magazine listed Pinterest in its “50 Best Websites of 2011” article. Additionally, TechCrunch named Pinterest the Best New Start up of 2011 due to its referral traffic to retailers. As of January 2012, this unique website had reported 11.7 million users, making this new website one of the fastest growing in popularity. So play around with Pinterest and see what exciting ideas and leads you can find!
