Pinterest.com is a new website to me. I suppose it's been around a little bit, but I missed it. Easy to do since I didn't have a Facebook or Twitter account. You need one or the other to sign up.
So I created a dummy Twitter account for myself and started checking it out. It's by invite only, so they need you to apply first, and then approve your account, and then they let you join. It's free, but if you don't want your name out there for everyone to see.....well, I don't think they have any privacy settings, not yet anyway.
I made a board for Halloween and started collecting images that I liked.
You basically find things that you like online, anywhere, and through an application, you have a pin on every page. It's very easy to start pinning all over what you like.
I already have things like recipes, designs, projects, and products I'd like to buy.
There's a spot for you to write a note about what you're pinning and it always keeps the original link to that website you're pinning off of. I really like this myself. I've been pinning for days and it's a lot of fun.
Now I have a place to keep all my ideas instead of writing them all down and I can log in anywhere and share with other people. You have to follow other people to be able to pin off of their boards, but that's what the website is all about. Everyone sharing different ideas, so I don't think that's going to change.
Give it a shot if you'd like to have a single place to keep several ideas.
Here's a link to my pin board so you can see what I'm talking about:
