Pinterest

I have succumbed and signed up to Pinterest. It is somewhat addictive. If you have not signed up yet and are not familiar with this new trend in social media then I will tell you in summary:
Once you have signed up, created your 'name' and can start creating boards which you can catergorise; e.g. fashion, gardens, interiors and so on. If you like a pinned picture you can re-pin it and should you choose you can follow that person or their board. You can also add websites as long as their are compatible pictures to be posted, thankfully Pinterest has it set-up so that it shows you where the image has originated as to avoid copyright however, it is worth checking. Hey presto, the world is your oyster, once you start you can't stop and within 10mins you will get the idea. Very easy to use.

There are some wonderful pictures to be pinned and re-pinned. I particularly like the interior design, architecture and gardens. However, there is a list that you can search under and chose, follow, as necessary.

Give it a try.
