I recently found out about an awesome new website called Pinterest. It’s a really simple, pretty website that collects images and links for you and puts them in “boards.” You can decide what theme your boards have, and can set up as many boards as you like. Some examples of my boards are Places I'd Like to Visit, Tutorials to Try, and Eat! Set up an account, put a Pinterest button on your web browser toolbar, and with a few clicks, you can add new material to any board in seconds. You can even pin something via email.
My Google Reader is a great tool for gathering things from all over the web, but I like Pinterest because I can group them the way I want and see them all at once, with a link back to the original source. There's also a great community on there - I've found so many cool people posting inspiring things. I also never realized how many tutorials I've held onto in my Google Reader over the years. It's crazy!
You have to be logged in to use Pinterest right now, and since they’re still in beta, you need an invitation to get an account. I have five invitations* at my disposal, so leave a comment on this post and I'll send you one! Let's all join!
You can also put in your request for an invitation.
*UPDATE: I still have 2 invites left!
Ooh, ping me! I will join.
ReplyDeleteYay! Should I send it to the gmail address I have for you?
ReplyDeleteI guess that's a good thing to add for the others - if you're interested, give me your email address! Thanks!
Me please! Send to my gmail!
ReplyDeleteOkay, sent! I got another request, too, so now there are 2 invites left.
