What you can do in Pinterest
Pinterest is used to “pin” images found around the Web
into categorized collections, or boards.
Its more like an interactive, shareable scrapbook.
You can follow other users, share their content, make
comments, and tag users.
You get real-time updates of what the people you follow
are pinning.
You can also easily share your pins on Facebook and
Twitter.
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.
Overview
Like Twitter, user can follow anyone, even if they aren’t following you back.
Users have the option to follow all of another user’s boards, or they can just select certain boards to follow.
You can sign up using your Twitter or Facebook account, which makes it easy to find all of your friends already using Pinterest.
