for everyone
"I was always collecting images on the web in folders on the desktop of my computer, but it wasn’t a very good system for remembering where things came from or who made them. We wanted to create a place where you can go to upload or collect things on the web and simply organize it the way you want to.”
Evan Sharp, Pinterest Designer and Co-Founder
What is it? Pinterest is a virtual pinboard which allows users to organize and share beautiful and interesting content they find on the web.
Mission Pinterest’s goal is to connect everyone in the world through the 'things' they find interesting.
Pinterest states; People use pinboards to plan their weddings, decorate their homes, and share their favorite recipes.
Functions? Users can pin, re-pin, follow, like and create boards of interests.
How does it work?
Create or upload a pin with an image or video
Create a pinboard of your interest, categorize all your pins and start sharing
Follow people or just the pinboards you like
You can follow what’s relevant or interesting to you, not everything your friends share
You can also pin on the go
