I have a bit of an obsession and it’s called Pinterest.
According to the site, ”Pinterest is a social catalogue service. Think of it as a virtual pinboard — a place where you can post collections of things you love, and ‘follow’ collections created by people with great taste.” So, when you’re browsing the web, catching up on your blogs and you see something that inspires you, you no longer need to save the domain. You can just ‘pin’ it and it’s there – saved and categorised for you when you need it.
I have boards to remind me about great marketing campaigns I have seen, boards of the clothes I wish I owned, dream interiors I’d one day like to recreate, and recipes I’d like to try. I have boards to help me with gift ideas, and boards of fonts and words that inspire me.
Not only can you pin your own images, but you can also follow boards of people who might have similar tastes, or inspire you. You can also leave comments on pins, find new blog and Twitter inspiration, and marvel at the fantastic eye candy that the other ‘pinners’ have found. Right now in the office we are pinning tattoo inspiration and geeking out over fonts.
As it is relatively new, sign-up to Pinterest is still by invite at the moment, but if you would like to have a look around and start pinning yourself, leave a comment with your email address and the first few commenters will receive an invite from me.


Brilliant post, I just came across Pinterest and it’s such a great idea! I think it’s what everyone on Twitter and Tumblr are waiting for, would love an invite if you have any left!
Hi. Great site! I already saw a bunch of home studio images I’d like to pin and would love an invitation.
Pinterest looks fab and the NEXT BIG THING! Thanks for sharing it, and would love an invite
Hi, it looks like such a great idea – so many beautiful pictures all together. I’d love an invitation, please, if possible, thank you!
Thanks for the comments.
You should have your invites through from Pinterest by now I hope. If they haven’t then please let me know and I’ll resend them to you.
If they have hit your inbox, then happy pinning and maybe I’ll come across your images, but beware, you might get lost in there!
