About "Pinterest"

What is Pinterest?

Pinterest is a social?cu ration?website for sharing and categorizing images found online. The site is described in its own content as a visual bookmarking site.?Pinterest?is a?portmanteau?of the words?pin?and?interest.

While the focus of the site is visual, Pinterest requires brief descriptions.

The service was founded by Paul Sciarra, Evan Sharp and Ben Silbermann. It launched as a closed?beta in March 2010. Membership was initially invitation-only; it is now open to the general public.

Silbermann pitched Pinterest as a "catalog of ideas" rather than a?social marketing?platform. He said the emphasis is on empowering users to "go out and do that thing." The site has become a popular?social media?platform.

How does Pinterest work?

Using the Pinterest app, users can add a "Pin it" button to their?browser?and then select and "pin" online images to virtual pin boards on Pinterest. Users create boards to organize images into categories. Pinterest categories include architecture, art, DIY and crafts, fashion, food and drink, home décor, science and travel, among other options.

Clicking a Pinterest image leads to the original source. The following are some examples:

·????????Clicking on a picture of a pair of shoes links to a site where they can be purchased.

·????????An image of blueberry pancakes links to the recipe.

·????????A picture of a whimsical birdhouse links to the assembly instructions.

Users can browse and search image content. They can also follow other users' Pinterest boards and specific image selections, as well as like and repine other users' pins.

To find boards to pin to, users can search for them or scroll through their home feed.

Pinterest also includes a visual search or?reverse image search?feature called?Lens. Lens lets users search Pinterest based on a picture taken from their camera or from the camera roll on a mobile phone. Pinterest uses?machine learning?to focus in on the main object of the photo and return matching search results.

Useful Pinterest terms and features include the following:

·????????A?pin?is any content shared on Pinterest.

·????????Pinners?are Pinterest users.

·????????A?board?is where users organize their Pins.

·????????A?group board?lets users contribute to a board created by another user, who grants contributors permission to do so.

·????????Pin codes?are like?QR codes?for Pinterest. They let users share Pinterest accounts.

What is Pinterest used for?

Pinterest is used to identify and share image and video content. It exposes users to new ideas, products and content and lets them share what they find with other users.

Pinterest users pin images and videos of interest to pin boards. They also can discover and curate other people's content. The website is used to find inspiration,?learn a new skill?and shop for products using ideas from Pinterest content.

Businesses use Pinterest to showcase products and services and?market to users?with aligned interests and hobbies. Business accounts?provide access?to Pinterest analytics, advertising services and exclusive content formats. Other platforms, like Etsy,?Instagram?and YouTube, can be linked to Pinterest so pins from those platforms can be attributed to the business.

Pinterest tags can be used to track the actions visitors take on a website after seeing a company's Pinterest advertisement. The tag is a piece of code embedded in a website. Tags help businesses measure campaign performance and?optimize conversions.

A business account provides access to rich Pins, which automatically update a business's Pinterest content when content on that company's website changes. For example, if pricing on a product pin changes, rich Pins reflect that on Pinterest.
