Hoggirl Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Also, how do you all use this resource?? I'm not exactly sure that I *get* it. I know it is a way to organize on-line things that you like, right? Can someone please enlighten me and tell me if this is something I would want to do IF I could get an invite????

anneofalamo Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 in the "olden days" I would go thru magazines, find recipes, or photos of clothes, painted walls, decorating tips, how to do, or crafts and cut them out of the magazine with intentions to file them to look at later. With pinterst, you go thru the magazines and PIN the items you like on your own album. Others can follow you or you follow them... I enjoy it. You have to be invited via email, I don't know why, but that is the deal. You can post it here, or PM me, and I will invite you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom in High Heels Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I don't know why you need an invite, but I lurves pinterest! I used to bookmark a million things and then later have no idea what they were for unless I went through them one at a times (yawn). With pinterest, I just pin it and can go to my boards later and see a photo of what I pinned and click on it to go directly to the page/post/site where I pinned it. It is genius. ♥♥♥ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 May I ask a related question? I received an invite, wanted to join, love the idea of pinterest... But does it require a Facebook account? I am one of the last Facebook holdouts. Does that mean I'm out of luck on pinterest? (Sorry to get off the topic a bit, but the question seemed related... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momof3littles Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 You can use a Twitter acct. I set one up just for Pinterest but I don't use it. I am not on FB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathymuggle Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I used my husbands facebook. I have heard of people setting up facebook accounts they never use for Pinterest. I have only been on pinterest a few weeks, but I lurve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailV Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 You have to be invited via email, I don't know why, but that is the deal. You can post it here, or PM me, and I will invite you. I never had an invite and I'm on it. I just visited the website, said I'd like to join, and eventually got an email saying I could sign up. When I see something online that I'd like to sew or craft (for example), I "pin" it to my Pinterest sewing or crafting boards. I put a little widget on my computer for it. It's like bookmarking, but with pictures instead of words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 You can use a Twitter acct. I set one up just for Pinterest but I don't use it. I am not on FB. Thanks! I don't have a Twitter account either, but can imagine setting one up to use pinterest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggirl Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 You can use a Twitter acct. I set one up just for Pinterest but I don't use it. I am not on FB. Ugh. So you have to be on either facebook or twitter to do it? :glare: I am a facebook dropout. I wound up wasting too much time on it. I fear I might do the same with pinterest. Thanks for the offers for invites! I appreciate it. I will send a pm if I decide to sign up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Sorry to get off the topic a bit, but the question seemed related... ) You can set up an account using just your email address. I have a Facebook account, but I don't have it associated with my Pinterest account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoxcell Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I just went on Pinterest and clicked request invite. I recieved it in my inbox very quickly. I don't spend a ton of time on there but I like it for Birthday party and holiday ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jujsky Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 You don't really "need" an invite. I signed up very recently, and while it said I needed an invite and they would add me to the waiting list or whatever (I don't remember how it was phrased) they sent me a membership confirmation less than a week later. Pinterest is addictive once you figure out how to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggirl Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 You do not need Facebook or twitter to use pinterest. I am glad to know this! Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggirl Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 Pinterest is addictive once you figure out how to use it. Both of these concern me: the figuring out how to use it and the addiction!:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggirl Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 You do not need Facebook or twitter to use pinterest. I think you do. AnneofAlamo kindly sent me an invite, and when I clicked on the link it said I could sign up through facebook or twitter. I did not see any other way to do it. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
