Overview Pins: A pin is an image or video,

either from a website or uploaded from the user. A description can (and should) be added to pins.

Boards : Pins can be organized by topic, called boards. By default, Pinterest starts users off with a bunch of boards, but these can be deleted or renamed to suit a user’s interests.
