Pinterest is the latest Social Media Addiction.
I have heard numerous friends and family members talking about Pinterest…then there are the few who ask “What is it? And what’s so great about it?”
Well….I’ll tell you. It is super addicting! I feel like a sheep blindly following the masses. Pin, Pin and Repin!
It’s great! I describe it as a scrapbook of your personality. You pin photos of your interests in EVERY area you can think of and what’s so great is, you can see what others are interested in as well. It’s all about getting new ideas….increasing your knowledge or interest in a particular subject.
So you ask….What is Pinterest and what is so addicting about it?
- You know when you’re browsing online and see something you love and don’t want to forget? What do you do — email it to yourself? Print it out and put it in a binder? Bookmark it on your computer? …..hmmmm
- Pinterest is a website that allows you to “pin” things online, just as you would pin them on a real life bulletin board, but instead, Pinterest saves all of your pins on your account so that you can access them easily.
- As you start pinning, create “Boards” that categorize your pins, making them easy for you to find later.
