#28 Pinterest


1.     Briefly explain “Pinterest” and how entrepreneurs/businesses/non-profit organizations in your area of communication are using this new tool.  Get an account and create at least one board that would be relevant to your future profession  (e.g. I created a “great public speeches” board) and find 3 professionals in your field to follow.

Pinterest is a pinboard-style social photo sharing website that allows users to create and manage theme-based image collections such as events, interests, hobbies and more. Users can browse other pinboards for inspiration, 're-pin' images to their own collections and/or 'like' photos. Pinterest's mission is to “connect everyone in the world through the ‘things’ they find interesting"[3] via a global platform of inspiration and idea sharing. Pinterest allows its users to share 'pins' on both Twitter and Facebook, which allows users to share and interact with a broad community.[citation needed] Founded by Ben Silbermann, of West Des Moines, Iowa,[4] the site is currently managed by Cold Brew Labs and funded by a small group of entrepreneurs and inventors. It is one of the “fastest growing social services in the world.”[5]

My explanation: 
Pinterest is a social site dedicated to photo sharing. It is all based on pinboards where people post photos they find interesting. Pinterests goal is to connect everyone through the things they find interesting.
