- 1. All about Pinterest 20x20 By: Michelle Davies
- 2. What is ?? • http://www.pinterest.com • Pinterest is a Virtual Bulletin Board • It allows you organize and share all of the beautiful things you find on the Internet • More specifically, you can share images of ideas and inspirations that you come across in your web browsing.
- 3. Terminology • Pin – A pin is an image added to Pinterest. You can link to an image from a web site or upload it from your computer • Repin – Once something is pinned, it can then be repined by other Pinterest users. This is how content is spread virally, similar to a retweet on Twitter. • Board – This is where your pins live. You can have separate boards for subjects.
- 4. How do you sign up?? • As of right now, Pinterest sign ups are on an “Invite Only” status. • You can only be invited by a current member of the site. • Once you do have an invite, you can setup your login to be a stand-alone account, or use it in combination with your Facebook or Twitter login.
- 6. Why would I use it? What is it used for? • Here are a few examples taken from the Pinterest website (http://pinterest.com/about): Redecorate your Home! Joy uses Pinterest to save decorating ideas for her new home in LA. She saves patterns, furniture, and accessories that catch her eye. Plan a Wedding! Divya and Ben use Pinterest to plan their wedding. Their Moms can leave comments about the dresses, flowers, and ties they pin up.
- 7. Popularity • According to Experian Hitwise – Pinterest is now the third most popular Social network in the US behind Facebook and Twitter (beating out Linkedin AND Google+)
- 8. Potential Issues • Some website owners are blocking their content from being pinned due to copyright issues. • Pinterest is currently following DMCA standards, but there are still ways around it (saving image to local computer & uploading it) • Pinterest has created an HTML meta tag to block pins. (Place it within the <head> tag of website’s HTML) • Wordpress has created a plug-in to block Pinterest as well…
- 9. Pinterest Tips • Pin directly to the URL you are pinning a picture from. For example, if you are pinning from a blog, pin directly to the blog post. This eliminates the need to scroll through a bunch of content to find the photo originally pinned. • Do not copy word-for-word the content from another website in your pin’s description. This can constitute as copyright infringement and also, occupy too much space on your board. Source: TheNestEffect.com
