3. What is Pinterest?
Pinterest is a virtual pinboard (bulletin
board). Pinterest allows you to organize
and share all the beautiful things you find on
the web. You can browse boards created by
other people to discover new things and get
inspiration from people who share your
interests.
People use boards to plan their weddings,
decorate their homes, and share their
favorite recipes.
