Useful Things: Pin It!

I have a new addiction.

My drug of choice is Pinterest.

Pinterest is a virtual pinboard where you clip, comment on, and save all the awesome stuff you find on the web. According to the website:
Pinterest lets you organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web. People use pinboards to plan their weddings, decorate their homes, and organize their favorite recipes. Best of all, you can browse pinboards created by other people. Browsing pinboards is a fun way to discover new things and get inspiration from people who share your interests.

What that does not say is that Pinterest is highly addictive and you may never want to stop pinning, repinning, sharing, and commenting.

The website is easy to use and you can customize your board and pins to suit your needs.You can "pin" an item by uploading it to the site or by using the "Pin It" function which can be (very easily) added to your browser of choice. For more ways on how to Pinterest, visit their About page - it has some great ideas. There Help page also offers an extensive list of how tos.

The service is free, but you do need to request an account (I got mine in about 24 hours). Speaking of which, if you want to follow my pin boards, you can do so by clicking here.
