Pinterest…….


I first heard about Pinteret about 9 months ago. A friend recommended it to me as she knows not only of my love for all things media, social and web based but also that I love to collect ideas for fashion and the home.
After being dubious and initially not liking the sound of it I am now hooked. It is a mind and memory board all in one. After browsing the web you can simply pin your favourite items and images to your different mood boards.
You can let your followers see your style or better yet your imagination.
You pick your different pin boards and give them a title each. Let’s say you have 5 boards with the titles: ‘Favourite Places & Space’, ‘For The Home’, ‘Products I Love’, ‘Books Worth Reading’ and ‘My Style’. Once you have browsed the web you can then pin your favourite or most wanted things under each category.
It’s great to follow others to see what products or places they desire, it becomes a never ending “look through the keyhole” into peoples creations and imaginations. You get an opportunity to see what makes people tick and their creative thinking of that moment.
It has certainly got the industry talking as it is currently the fastest growing social media site. Facebook has proven we love images, and with it recently buying instagram for $1 billion is this a tempt to keep our images and creative mind with the social giant or will we in our millions turn to pinterest to outlet of channels.
Like anything new it can seem daunting and hard to navigate around, but after looking at some pinterest veterans and their boards, I’m sure like me, you will get hooked.
