arghmatey Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 You just type your email address into the website...you don't need anyone to send you an invite. Pinterest emails you an invite in less than an hour. HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chepyl Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 What exactly is Pinterest? I see lots of people talking about it on Facebook. I really have no desire to join another social networking system...I am just curious. No one who loves it can give a good explanation of why it is so great. Between Facebook, this site, my blog, and the studio owner forum I frequent; I just don't have time to get in to anything else...just want to know why it is so great other than..."It just is. You have to try it." My understanding is that it is a place to post pictures...that is all I have managed to get out of anyone.:confused: I don't need another place to post pictures.

arghmatey Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I think that's just their way of building suspense. Kind of weird--they waitlist you for about an hour max. Have fun with it! We love Pinterest! There's an app for phones, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarlaS Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) I was on the waiting list for less than a day. I am now using it to try and coordinate clothes for a family portrait. For once, I'd like one nice group photo where we don't look like a random group of people who wandered in and decided to be photographed together. :tongue_smilie: I'm also beginning to use it to organize items I'm looking at for Christmas, DIY projectst, landscaping ideas.... It's soooo cool! Wish I'd signed up earlier. Edited September 11, 2011 by darlasowders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is basically an electronic bulletin board. You can make multiple boards for categories you want. Some of my categories are Travel Wish List, Homeschool, Recipes..... Basically anything you want to remember, you pin it to your board. It is visually appealing and a lot easier to navigate than a "Favorites" list on your internet explorer. I love it and am officially addicted!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More accurately, it's a place to store links using images. For example, I am coordinating ideas on one of my boards for family portrait outfits. I can see everything side by side and get an idea of what might match MUCH better than trying to line up windows in my browser. I can also see pretty quickly if a shirt I had picked for one family member is a touch too dressy, too sporty etc as compared to the rest. It's great for home decorating ideas, coordinating fabrics if you sew, yarn, recipes, projects, homeschool rooms, anything you might want a little help visualizing how it might come together before you jump in. In short, it's a place to keep track of the many ideas and inspirations I find on the net. It's also helping ME to actually cull my ideas. I can just as easily use it as a tool to eliminate as to add. When I see something that won't work, it's outta there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arghmatey Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 It's a visual bookmarking website. The way most people use Internet bookmarks is already outdated and has been for some time: bookmarks on one web browser on one computer. Delicious.com allows you to bookmark in the cloud--you can login on any computer with Internet access to access all your bookmarks. Pinterest.com is similar, but you get a visual representation of your bookmark. Like a recipe? "Pin" an image of the link to one of your boards, and access it from any computer (or your phone or iPad, et al). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chepyl Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Thank you! It actually sounds useful now. Everyone just said "it is so fun, will be addicted!" Did not sound like something I needed! ;) Now, I may look into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
