What is Pinterest? | The Best Idea Ever | Little Things

I’ve been meaning to write about the website Pinterest for a few months now, and then it occurred to me that it would make the perfect subject for a Little Things post!

It’s hard to explain what Pinterest is to someone who has never heard of it, but here’s how the site’s creators describe it:

“Think of Pinterest as a virtual pinboard — a place where you can create collections of things you love and “follow” collections created by people with great taste.

People use Pinterest to collect and share all sorts of things — wedding inspiration, favorite T-shirts, DJ equipment. You name it, people are pinning it.”

I use Pinterest as a way to keep all sorts of ideas in one easily accessible place.  Among others, I have boards for photography that inspires me, quotes that amuse me, and tasty looking foods I hope to cook one day.

It’s a wonderful website for those who are planning a wedding because you can “pin” inspiration from all over the internet: your favorite blogs, your photographer’s website, or even Google images.

I’ve included a few screen shots of some of my boards to give you a better idea of what I’m talking about.

To get a more in-depth explanation of how the site works and how easy it is to figure out, head over here.

Currently access to the site is limited to those who have received invitations requesting that they join.

However, the good news is that current members (like me!) are able to invite new people, so if you’d like to sign up for Pinterest and see what it’s all about, just let me know!

You can leave me a message on this post with your request and e-mail address or if you’d prefer, e-mail me here: thestudiobphotography @ gmail. com (remember to take out the spaces)

I’ll send you an invitation shortly after I hear from you and then you’ll be on your way to a more organized and inspired internet existence!

Happy Pinning!

Fun update: For those of you with iPhones there is now a Pinterest App!  Yipee!!  You can check it out here on iTunes or just search for it from the app store on your phone.  You know I love my iPhone and this app just made my day!

XOXO,
