It’s possible that I have become a part of a website so cool that I am in fact…addicted to it.  I blame it all on my friend, Amanda, who suggested it to me. She was right… I HEART IT!  www.pinterest.com is the most amazing website for us strongly visual and creative types.  I think I might need to form a Pinteresters Annonymous support group. Anyone in?!!

What IS IT? Simply put… it’s a virtual pin board. Basically, you “pin” photos from all over the internet onto categorized boards.

Pin Boards: You create your own pin boards and name them anything you want. You can see some of my boards in the photo below.  My favorite boards are: “Chuckle Giggle Snort” (for all the things I find to be hilarious), “Baking Obsession” (a place where I store all the cool recipes I’ve seen), and “Tree Love” (photos of the most beautiful trees!).

Pinning: Not only can you pin things from other websites you visit but you can also re-pin things that other pinterest members are pinning.  There is a newsfeed page of everything that is being pinned right now! The photo below shows all the pins that are in the general news feed right now.

The cool part:  When you go to one of your boards and revisit a “pin” you can see the website where that pin originated from!!!  OMG… revolutionary right?!  It’s like a visual set of bookmarks.  So, for example, if I have a pin of a recipe I can click back on the pin I can go to the website to check it out again. GENIOUS!!
