It is almost one month i’m using pinterest and seriously addicted to pinning all the stuffs that i like. I love the concept, the layout & ideas. Pinterest is an UX marvel and that’s no doubt the core of their success. Pinterest is making big waves in the social media world. A quiet little startup that is suddenly one of the top 10 social networks in the world.
Pinterest allows you to organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web. You can browse pinboards created by other people to discover new things and get inspiration from people who share your interests. People use pinboards to plan their weddings, decorate their homes, and share their favorite recipes.”
The first thing you need to understand are Pins and Boards. Simply, put pins are pics and links you choose to share with others. Boards are the categories you put you pins into.
Pins on Pinterest are images or videos, not just links. You have to have an image to pin to your board. That image can certainly have a link associated with it. Pinterest offers advice on pinning and how to have a good pin on its Help page. Pinterest is presented and made into a genuinely enjoyable experience means that it’s immediately shareable comfortable and attractive.
Pinterest chose to stay in private beta for quite an extended period of time carefully controlling invites. So you have to be invited to pinterest. Latest word is that pinterest responds pretty quickly to invite requests. Interestingly, I have a handful of pinterest invites – if you’d like one, comment below with your email id, i will invite you.
