Pinterest

Have you heard of the site Pinterest? Well, I was blog hopping today and chanced upon a blog that mentioned it. I checked it out and found a lot of eye candy! Smile

On its FAQ page it says that Pinterest is a “social catalog service.” As I understand it, it’s a virtual pin board where you can tack pictures of things you found interesting. Remember when you used to clip lovely photos and stuff from glossy magazines and then tack them on your wall or paste them in scrapbooks? Well it looks like Pinterest gives you such a venue for stuff you find all over the Internet.

I tried signing up but the only relevant like about that is for requesting an invite. I received an email saying that they are in private beta and to wait for an invite they’ll be sending soon.

And of course I had to search if anyone put up a collection of pins with books, here’s a screencap of the results:

Have you heard of Pinterest? Do you have extra invites? Hehe Smile
