A new kind of social media website, Pinterest.com, has been gaining popularity among collegiettes nationwide, and we’re obsessed.
Pinterest is a social media website that allows users to compile images they see on the web into virtual creativity boards. The images maintain a link to the original URL where they were found, so that you can trace them to the source with just a click. You can share anything you find with friends, and there’s no shortage of new content.
Aside from being pretty, Pinboards make a great tool for many aspects of a girl’s life. Though its fun to use the boards to plan your dream wedding or vacation, there are so many practical uses for the website. We recommend beginning a virtual recipe board, because there are endless yummy recipes to be found online that accompany mouth-watering pictures. Style Pinboards can help you keep up with the trends you like so you have inspiration for your next shopping trip. Now, Pinterest can be used for gathering gift ideas for the holidays.
We encourage you to break out of the Facebook rut and try a refreshing new online pastime. Ranked in the top five social media sites of 2011, Pinterest has something that every collegiette can enjoy.
To join Pinterest, go to www.pinterest.com and request an invitation. You will soon receive an email from the website inviting you to get creative! Now you’re well on your way to becoming a Pinterest princess. Just be careful collegiettes, it’s addicting!
