If you haven't gotten enough social networking from Twitter and Facebook, you might want to check out Pinterest. Pinterest is one of the fastest-growing websites in history, according to recent reports, because of its uniqueness. In fact, last month 10 million visitors signed onto Pinterest. However, it may be a little more complicated than other social networking sites and take some time to understand how to use it.
It's kind of like a giant bulletin board where you might pull out pages from a magazine and pin them. Instead of searching magazines, users search the Internet and can "pin" pictures they find onto their virtual bulletin boards. Anyone who follows an individual Pinterest user can see what that person has pinned onto their bulletin board.
Although Pinterest was launched two years ago, it wasn't until recently that it really picked up steam. Now it has gained popularity because Facebook included a Pinterest app on its new timeline. Women have particularly fueled interest in Pinterest and use it for everything from gaining drink recipes for parties to home decoration tips and travel ideas.
