Things I Like: Pinterest

I love that technology keeps getting better at supporting what I’m already doing (as opposed to making me adapt to include it). One of my newest excitements is Pinterest:

Pinterest allows users to create boards (based on themes like “Books” “Food and Drink” and “My Style”) and “pin” links/images to them from online sites. Users can also follow each others’ boards (a great way to find people whose style matches your own) and comment on individual pins. Users can also created shared boards to post pins together.

I’m hoping to use Pinterest to keep track of projects (crafts, recipes, etc.) and to connect with similar style folks. It’s a very visual record-keeping tool, and I can see opportunities for work: planning event together, for example, would be very different if people could share from where they are. Feel free to take a look at my Pinterest account (http://pinterest.com/trasiewitch/) and if you need an invite let me know.
