From the site: Pinterest lets you organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web. People use pinboards to plan their weddings, decorate their homes, and organize their favorite recipes. Best of all, you can browse pinboards created by other people. Browsing pinboards is a fun way to discover new things and get inspiration from people who share your interests. To get started, request an invite. |

I haven't joined, perhaps the view changes, but it seems so many friends post their Pinterest items to facebook that I see enough of it there. SRS |

01 Mar 12 - 03:29 PM (#3315761) Subject: RE: BS: Do you Pinterest? From: JennieG There are concerns about copyright issues and Pinterest. Images put up on various boards (probably in good faith) can then be 're-pinned' onto other boards with no acknowledgement of the original person's work. If you google pinterest+copyright you can spend a lot of time reading all about it. Cheers JennieG |
