So What is Pinterest?

 

Obviously a lot of people know what it is and have been playing in the Pinterest “playpen” and have been pinning on its pinboards.

Pinterest allows people to pin or upload images from websites and blogs (whether that is their own website or one they are visiting) that they find inspiring or beautiful. It can be done with a couple of clicks with a “Pin it” button on the menu bar of your favourite browser. That image then links back to your website or the one you pinned it from.
