What is Pinterest?

Pinterest is a social media website where people share information via visual bookmarks or pins. Information must be shared in the form of a picture since each pin must be visual in nature.

When creating a pin, it must be placed on a board, or a group of pins for different subjects of interest. Once posted, pins are available to be repinned or shared on other users' boards.

Pinterest is useful for sharing and collecting information, such as wedding, decorating and party ideas. Large businesses use Pinterest to promote their products, while artists use this website to showcase their works.
