9 years ago, whenever we came across a picture, website, or video that peaked our interest, we immediately had to save or bookmark it. After while, our computers would be cluttered with several link, images, and files.
In 2010, three men invented a website that would compact all of these necessities into one. Pinterest, was created by Ben Silbermann, Paul Sciarra, and Evan Sharp. Initial development began in 2009 and the site was launched in 2010.
Pinterest is a web and mobile application that allows users to find, store, and organize images, gifs, and videos. The application has nearly an unlimited database of what can be searched. How? Because other users share content that is recycled continuously !
On Pinterest, users create "boards". You can compare a board to a collage of some sort. To fill the boards the user must "pin" an item. The term pin was coined to define how someone can store the content that they like to their page.
The creators of Pinterest use the following description, "a catalogue of ideas that inspires users to go out and do that thing".
Pinterest is filled with tons of categories to be searched and pinned. These include cooking, sports, DIY, arts and crafts, music and brands. As of October 2018, the site has 250 million active users.
Along with its convenient storing application, Pinterest is very helpful in other ways. It makes it easier to gather new ideas. Pinterest is also a great way to market your product and skills to others.
Shoppers and enthusiasts can use Pinterest to stay informed with their favorite brands and companies. Lastly, Pinterest helps you envision what you're trying to create.
On my Pinterest I have 3 boards. These are cooking, tattoos, and fashion.
Cooking has been a hobby since I was 8 years old. I am also an avid fan of the food network. In my free time I like to try new recipes at home and college. The food network Pinterest along with other boards offer great recipes to test.
I got my first tattoo when I was 18 years old. Since then my designs have gotten more intricate with each tattoo. I value tattoos as a means of self expression and a unique way to be creative. Pinterest has lots of tattoo inspiration to help me figure out my next piece of art.
Fashion has always been an interest for me. Using my imagination to create different clothing combinations is very pleasing. I like to layer shirts and jackets, and include some type of headwear.
Thousands of other Pinners love fashion just as much as I do. Viewing other clothing combinations helps me create better ideas within my own wardrobe.
I feel that Pinterest is a great tool to help users become more organized. We come up with new ideas every day and it can easily become difficult to keep up with them all.
