Anyone here familiar with Pinterest? It's kind of social network but not. I got invited by someone and someone else is following me already, but I don't really get how to move around in it. Can anyone give me any tips? I'm kind of a computer dunce at times. why

Thanks!!

I know Sheri and Cheryl belong. I checked it out and have it in mind for a lazy computer day. Lots of recipes and interesting craft projects to check out.

I figured out some last night since I am not sleeping much these days. It is fun, but there is so much, it is a little overwhelming. TGH is on there so much, Bill. Nice! I can invite people to join. I think I just need your email address, so if anyone wants an invitation you can PM me your email address. I started pinning some stuff so you can follow me, too. I'm pretty boring though... haha

I'm thinking it is a good place to store your bookmarks online. They would be easily retrievable if my computer crashed. But I'd need to go into privacy things and read it. I am not fond of laying it all out there.

I try to be careful about putting too much out there as well. I think backing up your computer onto a back-up drive would be better than saving everything to a public site.

My niece told me that I would love pinterest, as I love to craft, but when I went to sign up for it several weeks ago, they wanted far too much personal info for my comfort zone. So I will not be joining the ranks there.

I didn't enter any of the personal information when I joined and I usually just make up a fake name when I have to use a name on a forum. I have a secret FB account that I don't share with many people. I have a fake name and entered only the bare minimum information and made up what I could. I like to use the services but I don't want everyone to have my personal information. I totally understand how you feel.

I was invited by a friend and joined up but I UN joined after a few weeks. I had a bunch of people following me immediately and I had not even pinned anything. I tried not to put personal info but someone it became attached to my facebook profile - not sure if a follower somehow caused that to happen or what. I never took the time to figure out how to work it or why I would want to. I don't surf the net enough to pin a bunch of stuff.

Dodge - it seems to me, that if you post a piture here on this website that anyone viewing it has access to it? Those pictures on the page Bill linked to were taken directly from this website. Unless Bill puts a copy protection on all of our pictures, then I believe they are up for grabs.

That is why I am very careful about which pictures I share online these days. Especially pictures of my family.

Which picture was yours?

These people are just bookmarking pages and using a photo from the page as a reminder for them and for other people to see. Each picture links back to the page on TGH or AGF so others can find it.
I'm flattered when I see my pix and pages on there and it helps me when people post links to my stuff.

As to the Garden Helper following that lead...

I tried to join through Facebook but it said if I agreed to the pinterest app I would automatically be changed to the new "Timeline" format which I hate. rspb Guess I'll go to the Pinterest site and join there...if it's not linked to Facebook.

Pinterest seems interesting..have a facebook but haven't been on it in almost a year. As soon as I get all my pics developed that I have saved there, I am deleting my account. My family drives me nuts there.

Cheryl, I didn't realize I signed in using Facebook. I don't remember doing that so I'm not sure how it happened. I know you have a Facebook account so how did you do it without the two places being linked?

Sheri, I signed up by requesting a pinterest invite directly from pinterest and set up a username and password without logging in to Facebook. Carol, I only remembering needing to give an email and create a username and password, no other info. If you sign in using Facebook it asks you to allow Facebook to get your info. You can go into your settings and and revoke that so that the two are no longer linked. I've had to do that with other web sites.

I LOVE Pinterest!!! I use it allllllll the time.

Think of it as a visual bookmark. I have ALOT of bookmarks for my internet browser, but I almost never use them because a short description doesn't jog my memory and, honestly, I forget the bookmarks are even there. Pinterest is kind of like a bulletin board where you put you bookmarks. You can have as many boards in your account as you want. For instance, I have boards for gardening, home learning, crafts for me, crafts for the kids, breakfast recipes, lunch recipes, dinner recipes, dessert recipes, kid stuff, etc. I like to cruise around and see what others have pinned. You can look under different categories (like gardening) and it will pull up what others have pinned (or bookmarked). You can also put in a word to search with (like vertical gardening) and see what comes up. You might like what you find.

The pictures that you see aren't a violation of privacy. Think of it this way, Bill has this wonderful forum that you can view even if you aren't a member here (you just can't participate in the forum without being a member). So if some random person was trying to research how to get rid of deer plaguing their garden, they may have stumbled onto a thread in this forum about that very subject. It's in the middle of the winter, so that person can't do anything that is being talked about in that thread. If that person just bookmarks the page, he's likely to forget about it and never come back to the useful information. So, he pins it using a tool that he's installed onto his web browser. Since Pinterest is all visual, it needs to pull a picture that can be associated with that person's pin (visual reminder). The tool will pull every picture on that page and the person can now choose which picture he wants to use with the pin so that he can remember what it is. He can also write a short description that will show up under the picture and he can choose one of his boards to put the pin. That is why there are soo many of your very own pictures from here on Pinterest. Someone either did a search for a topic and found a thread with someone's picture and really liked it and chose that as their reminder picture or they really loved the picture itself and pinned it for further reference. It isn't really a breach of privacy since you post those pictures to this forum knowing that any person can come to the forum and view them. They aren't stealing them...just using them to remember the topic. When they click on the picture, it will bring them directly to that particular page.

I found awesome crafts to do with the kids, wonderful recipes, ways to help our family be more "green", ways to save a ton of money, and great ideas for gardening on Pinterest. :)

Here is the link to all of my boards: http://pinterest.com/hisgal2/
Please excuse the sloppy food boards, I'm in the process of going from one general food board to more specific food boards (breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, snacks, etc).

Oh! And for those who had just signed up and had people following you....

One of the options that you have in Pinterest is to see what your friends have pinned since the last time you were on. To do this, you have to follow them. When you tell Pinterest what your interests are, it automatically chooses 10 random people who have the same interests and sets you to follow them. You can edit those unknown people out by clicking on your name in the upper right corner, then once your boards page loads, going to the right hand side and clicking on "following". You can edit those who you are following there. You cannot edit those who are following you. For as many pins as I have (currectly 24 boards and 542 pins), I only have like 56 people following me. Some people, tho have chosen to follow only 1 board of mine. For instance, my "Home Organization" board has 100 followers, but my "Desserts/Snacks" board has 66 followers. All that means is that 66 people came across a pin that I pinned into my "Desserts/Snacks" board, scanned the recipes I had in there and liked them all enough to follow me so that the next time I pin something to that board, they'll be able to see that pin and possibly use the recipe.

I will say that I have written to Pinterest and have requested that they allow us to put some boards as private. I pin alot of things for birthday parties, but when I do that, there is the possibility that other will find those pins. Not that that is a big deal, but I HATE putting the effort into making something and then someone saying "Oh, yeah, I saw that on Pinterest". Just because you saw it in Pinterest doesn't mean that it didn't take me a long time to make it and that you can't say "I appreciate you doing this." LOL!!

I'm only on MySpace and not FB so linking wouldn't be a issue. and I never post anything or any pictures that I don't care if the whole world sees.
But I still don't think I would have any interest in Pinterest. I already can share cool bands, skateboard tricks, and find video game reviews at other forums. grin If I can't find information about something on google I may try it don't know.

I am totally unimpressed. I really have nothing to pin there. My daughter says there is another website just like it called tumbler?

It is a really easy platform to handle. You have lots of inspirations here. If I remember it good firstly you have to choose some categories that you are interested in and then on your main board there are selected pictures that you may like. If you click on the photo below there are photos which are similar to it. You can also search for inspirations. Hope you will like the site!
