Add One More Must to My Web Routine...

I have a new addiction and it goes by the name of Pinterest. You may have seen the little icon I added to the left there on my blog last week. This website allows me to "pin" pictures I find during my googling, blog reading, or website discovering all in one place. I can organize my pins onto different boards, so that I can keep my project inspirations separate from pictures I just think are lovely.



But my favorite part? I can set it up to be notified every time someone likes my taste enough to repin one of my pins onto their own board(s). I am loving it so much. It's like having a stranger come up to you and tell you he/she likes your shoes. AND it happens hourly (some days).

Though it is very affirming to my self-esteem, it has the added benefit of being a very handy replacement for simply bookmarking blog posts, recipes, or pictures I like.  Not only can I access my Pinterest account from any computer, organize my boards and pins very easily, but I am also constantly inspired by others' pins and boards too.

We're even using a board for my sister's wedding registry. This way she can post things from multiple websites all in one place. (We plan to have people add a comment to the item if they purchase it so she won't end up with accidental duplicates.)

  3. It's still in the beta stage, so you have to request an invite, but it usually doesn't take longer than a week to be accepted.
