 Pinterest is a social networking site
 It allows you to organise and share ideas
through what is called “virtual pin boarding”
 You can pin something that you find
interesting on the net using Pinterest
 Then organise your thoughts into individual
pin boards based on categories that you
select
 Pinterest can be used for wedding
planning, home decorating, sharing
favourite recipes etc..
 The possibilities are limitless

4. Pin
 Pin is an image that’s added to Pinterest
 It can be added from a website using the
Pinit button or uploaded from your PC
 Each Pin added using the Pinit button
links back to the site it came from
 A Pin can be an image or a video
 So Pinterest basically acts like a virtual
cork board that you can pin something of
interest and go back to it later.
