I must say that I'm...ADDICTED. Absolutely addicted. I found so many cool ideas on Pinterest that I can't wait to try out. It's like a website for all your bookmarks, but instead of bookmarking them, you're pinning them to virtual boards. I love it! Have you tried Pinterest? What do you usually pin onto your boards? If you haven't tried it, would you want to try it?

I don't know if I want to sign up for another site, but I have seen things on Pinterest and have saved links to various things I like, so I might as well sign up..lol

Exactly! It is not really one of those websites you'll never use. It's convenient and has a purpose. Not like an extra website I have to visit, ya know?

I also realized that many of my recipes come from there, so maybe having an account would be better, especially if I can have "favorites" there so I don't have to send them to my inbox...

Exactly. It's like a recipe book via Pinterest.

I am not sign-in yet but Im planning to have my account within the day. I heard so much about it and as a visual dreamer fanatic, I would like to try it. Instead of doing my visual board manually. I can have it on-line. Thanks for opening this discussion because it reminds me to sign-up.

I just learned to use it now. With the help of my husband. After two weeks of signing up. I have pinned at least 10 pictures. I am very keen on what to pin because I want every picture to be close to my heart . Thank you so much for your inputs on this.

I have heard of the site but haven't really used it. Friends on my facebook use it though and some of the things they find are just cute. I've thought of possibly starting to use it though, atleast to give it a looksie over.

You do find cute photos on there! And a whole bunch of other stuff too, like recipes, craft ideas, wedding ideas, etc. It's amazing how much information is being constantly spread around the site. I would definitely tell you to check it out. Even if it isn't for you, hey, at least you said you looked at it!

Yes I have tried Pininterest and I like it to! A Facebook friend does it and I decided to give it a try. I pin my favorite sports teams, favorite people,animals and what I would want in my dream house if I ever have one! Those are the ones I have been pinning lately! Those are just examples right now. I am sure I will do more in the future.

I have signed up to Pinterest but am on and off it all the time. I haven't been on for weeks again now but should use it as it might help get more exposure to my photos and things. I'm just on too many sites it's hard to keep up with all of them and I see a lot of copyrighted stuff on there including my own work but it's OK because it does link back to the original so it's just more exposure for me

Absolutely addicted since the first day I tried it! I found lots of good recipes on there that I tried. And I've shared some of mine on there too. I am Lisa6599 on Pinterest. I have lots of recipe boards, I collect vintage pictures, memories from the 80s, cats, dogs, all kinds of things! Absolutely love it!

I have seen my friends mention pinterest on facebook also but I don't know how to use it. It seems like people is saying it is "fun" but I don't know how it is fun for.

My sister introduced me to Pinterest. However, I'm not addicted like she is. I'm more addicted to playing Word with Friends and Mylot. I do like the concept of the site and have pinned certain things especially the beautiful pictures. I also like to see new and interesting ideas when decorating a certain room. I have pinned mostly to do with decorating and a few concerning actors that I adore.

I have tried since I need it as a blogger. I pinned my photo giveaways, posts etc. Anything I could pin on my blog. Haha. I don't know anything about it but I have a Pinterest account long before as it is needed when entering blog giveaways and I get curios what it is all about.. So I tried it one day and you are right, it's so addictive.

Just go to www.pinterest.com. But it's basically a virtual pinboard where people post things they are interested in and stuff. Like recipes, craft ideas, etc. There's a great source of information there that people are constantly pinning to their boards1

Pinterest has changed my life; the ideas I have learned have helped me believe in a world of possibilities. It gives you ideas to save money, to organize your home, to have a beautiful garden, etc. Yes, I believe it can feel very overwhelming with all the hundreds of ideas it has, but you can choose the things your need to do first. It is great. A picture speaks a thousand words, and that is what Pinterest is all about: Pictures of Ideas.

Hi, I'm allearned, and I'm a Pinterest addict. Isn't this just the best website ever?! Seriously, it has helped me make crafts to give as gifts, it has helped me in my path to eating healthier foods, and it's just plain fun! I finally talked my mother into checking it out after convicing her it wasn't just another Facebook. She is pinning all of these different outdoor do it yourself things like birdhouses, etc. Now I'm afriad she is going to end up with a ton of yard ornaments!
