If you aren’t on Pinterest yet, than you are soooo behind that times, man. Pinterest is the fastest growing social media site online today.
I love Pinterest because it’s a great was to bookmark different sites, but without cluttering your bowser’s Bookmark Tool Bar. It’s based upon the idea of a giant cork board that you might take cut out articles from magazines & pin them to it. It categorizes all your “Pins” into self-created “Boards” that you name according to their content. I just like it because I can cruise the inter-webs & “pin” any photo I stumble upon, and keep it tucked away so I don’t forget.
