Anyone Use Pinterest?

[AB Editor]

If so, we have a new account for The AnswerBank: http://pinterest.com/theanswerbank/ and we'd like to "follow" you - but not a in a weird way.

Please follow our account (and we'll follow you back) OR let us know your profile address below OR (if your profile/username gives away your name) pop us an email to: [email protected] letting us know who you are.

We're not sure how we're going to use Pinterest yet - but there's no harm in being prepared :)

I'm obsessed with Pinterest! I'll get following you! :)

[woofgang]

yes I am a pinner, will email you. I am happy for you to follow me although you must be prepared for dullness.

[AB Editor]

Thanks to both :)

I'm registered with Pinterest but I don't understand how it works!

[vodkancoke]

I use it to store recipies and pictures of cakes I want to try, hairstyles I like, home decor I like to take inspiration from and Christmassy stuff. I find myself pinning loads of things! lol

[maggiebee]

Snap RR. I'm also registered with Pinterest but not sure how to use it.

[vodkancoke]

"recipies"?? Seriously? My spelling is shocking! lol

[rockyracoon]

Right, I've just followed you, what happens now?

[woofgang]

when you go and look at pinterest, you can choose to see all pins or only the pins of those people who you follow.

[boxtops]

what is it?

[B00]

Its sort of like an online scrapbook Boxy, here's the generic address for it, you'll see what I mean...

http://pinterest.com/

[boxtops]

so why would I use it?

[JoolsTwo]

I've with Pinterest but don't really use it.

[sherrardk]

Can someone do a quick idiot's guide as to what it's about/for? Thanks

[B00]

Wouldn't it be quicker to just click on the link Sherr and see for yourself? It IS pretty self explanatory!

What do you mean "why would I use it?" Boxy? Don't understand, it is as I described, its great for hints and tips, and photos, and well pretty much anything a scrapbook is for.

[boxtops]

That's what I use Google for.

[sherrardk]

I have clicked on the link, there are some nice pictures but I am not sure what the point is (will have a good look later), but then again, I never had a scrap book.

[B00]

no ones twisting your arm boxy, lol, you either are interested or you aint <shrug>

[boxtops]

Indeed - I don't know why I'd want an on-line pinboard - or whether I'd want anyone else to be able to look at it
