Pinterest Ninja

Unless you’ve been living in Antarctica for the last few years, you’ve probably heard of Pinterest, but that doesn’t
mean you “get it”. Pinterest is one of those sites people either seem to love to the point of obsession, or they just don’t get it and can’t figure out why people even use it. Pinterest is sort of like a cross between a virtual cork board and a collection of bookmarks. Offline, a cork board is used to collect ideas. They might be notes, pictures, articles, or any other scraps you need to keep track of. Online, people bookmark things they want to remember later, but browsing through hundreds of bookmarks with nothing to go on but the titles of the pages and the URLs is frustrating. Pinterest combines the ideas so you can bookmark things you like or want to remember later, but it presents them in a way that makes it easy to see what the page is about. You can also pin photos and videos that don’t link to anything so you can view them later.
