Pinterest.com: New social media and bookmarking website

Instead of bookmarking websites only by web address, Pinterest.com uses visual bookmarking. Pinterest.com allows you to share things that you're interested in with friends and strangers, but also keeps your personal information private, showing only your chosen photo and username to Pinterest members. It gives you the option to connect with your friends from Facebook, Twitter, or email. When using www.Pinterest.com, you "pin" your chosen visual bookmarks to a "board", which is how you organize the things that you're interested in. Your boards can be labeled any way you choose, and you caption each of your pins however you'd like. There is also the option to search different pin categories, such as Food and Drink, Humor, or Fitness, and "repin" any items you find interesting to your boards. This is a fantastic tool that our patrons might really enjoy, because it essentially takes a person's Favorites bar from their computer and puts it in a place that is easy to access from any location that has internet access. It gets rid of the need for different folders for different interests (recipes, organization ideas, crafts, etc). And overall, it's fun!
