2. Why You Should Use It!

3. What Is Pinterest?
It's a virtual pin board that lets you organize and
share the things you like on the internet.

4. Pinterest’s Mission
 Our goal is to connect everyone in the world
through the 'things' they find interesting. We think
that a favorite book, toy, or recipe can reveal a
common link between two people. With millions
of new pins added every week, Pinterest is
connecting people all over the world based on
shared tastes and interests.

5. Great Another Social
Network?

7. What Is Pinterest..
 Everything is image-based, so its great for visual
people such as myself. You install a 'Pin' button
on your browser so that whenever you're
browsing something you'd like to save, simply hit
the button and a box will prompt you to label
your pin.

8. How did Pinterest start?
 ‘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 co-founder and
designer

Why??

32. You Can Self-Express
 Pinterest, first and foremost, is a place for people to
express themselves. The premise behind the website
is for people to create virtual bulletin boards and
"pin" what they find interesting to them. They can
create as many boards as they like for as many
different aspects of their lives as they want. Pinterest
allows for a form of self-expression online that other
social networks don't. It is based almost entirely on
images. It's perfect for our visual society. People
can express themselves and fulfill that need we all
have.

33. Your Curiosity
 Pinterest allows you to follow other people on the
website. That means you can see what they are
pinning to their boards. This can be quite
fascinating to the Pinterest user. You can learn
more about people you already know or people
you're just getting to know. The fact you can see
what others are pinning to their boards makes
Pinterest quite intriguing to many people. It
makes it quite a fascinating place for people to
hang out.

34. You Can Create Memories
 Everyone loves creating memories. Pinterest
boards are like virtual scrapbooks. The user can
create several boards for what's important to
them at that moment in time. As with anything in
life, the user will change over time so the boards
capture a digital snapshot of that time period in
their lives, their likes and dislikes, their hopes and
desires, for that time when it was created.

35. You Can Life Plan
 Some people use Pinterest for planning. There are
stories of people using it to plan a trip or even
plan an entire wedding! Whatever you are
planning, Pinterest offers a place for you to
organize everything. You can split different
aspects of your planning into different boards or
put it all into one board.

36. It’s An Escape
 Sometimes you just need to escape for life for a
few minutes. One reason people love Pinterest so
much is because it offers them that. They can
hop on and see what their friends are pinning. Or
they can surf the web and find things they want
to put on their boards. But Pinterest is all about
escaping from life for just a little while.
