Just when we were learning to manage Facebook and Twitter, another website has emerged to occupy our time (under the guise of research) — Pinterest. Pinterest is an invitation-only social website (you can request an invitation at pinterest.com) that allows you to share things you like — primarily products, fashion, creative ideas, home décor, and motivational messages — by “pinning” images to an electronic “board.”
You also can follow people who have similar tastes, and re-pin images from their board to yours to perpetuate your shared interests. It’s a great place to get ideas for virtually anything. Should you need a Pinterest fix on the run, there’s a free app available for iPhone.
