Pinterest

The newest and most creatively smart social media phenomenon is gaining popularity and recognition fast. Pinterest is an online "pin board" where you create different boards with a topic or theme to pin related pictures on. Your boards are a reflection of you in images - what you like, what you think, who you are.

You can chose to follow friend's boards to see what they're pinning, or even follow a complete stranger whose board reflects things that interest you. If you see a picture that captures your attention and appeals to you, you can then pin it onto your board. 

Among the noticeably popular pin board themes, fashion and style is one of the most significant. Images of innovative and chic outfits or clothing are constantly circulating the website waiting to get "re-pinned". What's so remarkable about this site is that there's more than just the expected and predictable editorial or professional images of celebrities and models - anyone can have their moment.

You can chose to share a piece of yourself with others. Members can share their personal images, and many people upload pictures of their created outfits to circulate the site for others to see and hopefully pin onto their boards if they like what they see. 

Having a personal webpage that holds images that inspire you or speak to you is perfect for using as a reference for future use. Keeping pictures you like in one spot that is easy to access allows you to use your picture collections for ideas and inspiration in your life. 

Whether it be an outfit you want to copy, a recipe you want to cook, or a hairstyle you are dying to try, these pin boards encourage creativity and new ideas just waiting to be used.
