    I have joined the tons of people on Pinterest recently. The website has tons of crafts that I want to try. I have tried a few already and they turned out great. You can find just about anything on Pinterest. Does anyone else use it?

    I have only used Pintrest for a couple of weeks after reading about it on another forum - I have to admit it is quite addictive. I find loads of interesting info relating to my business, as well as stuff my kids like looking at. Whoever thought of the idea is clever and I hope it continues to gain popularity.

    I mostly post about food and food art because that's where my interests are. I do post about other things, though.

    I have spent hours on the site looking things people have done. I started looking for ideas to recycle some t-shirts, then I looked a recycling drawers. I have a leather purse I want to update and need some ideas on how to do that. I like Pinterest much better than Facebook.

    Jessi your site is awesome. I see things I would like to snack on right now.

    I've tried it a couple of times, but I just couldn't get into the site. The majority of the pictures don't interest me, and I'm not sure how you're supposed to use the site. I'll wait until Pinterest gets more popular, and maybe I'll give it a try again.

    I have not tried it yet. But looking at reviews here it will surely do. Looks interesting :)

    I read about the site somewhere and it has good reviews, but have yet to browse it myself to see what it's like.

    I must confess that at first when first used and promoted more and more, I was a bit indifferent this new social network. Actually not find any reason or purpose for use. A few days ago, I decided to give it a try, and I find that Pinterest is really very attractive and in some cases addictive. I began to feel I could express thoughts, ideas, and more through images, not just words. Still can not get used to its interface, but it seems a nice space to exchange such information. A few days ago, the official app is available for Android and I-Pad, which will give this social platform a little more momentum.

    When did you try it? Because it IS more popular at this point and is becoming one of the top social networks, especially with women. What kind of pictures would you be interested in? That makes a difference whether the site is even for you really.

    I haven't joined but I do spend a lot of time looking at craft projects and recipes there. If I am not careful I spend way too much time on it! There are a lot of really cool ideas and some awesome recipes there.

    I'm more into street art and the rap culture, and I just don't see very many pictures about that genre. I know women are on that site, and the majority of the pictures are food and fashion. Which is nothing wrong with that, but it just doesn't appeal to me. I'm sure they have a lot of members that post some great pics, but I'm not into taking pictures because I suck at it. :D

    I've recently joined also. I love creating parties and finding ideas or just inspiration on Pinterest is great! Really, I enjoy it so much that I have to remind myself not to spend too much time there.

    I've given it a little look and it seems pretty cool. Browsing visually is always rather appealing anyways. Will have to see where it goes, but its pretty interesting right now.

    I like to piddle on Pinterest while I'm working. As a matter of fact it's almost always in another tab when I'm online. I love the recipes and ideas for kids rooms.

    I totally agree. It seems like a website for people who really have time to create nice stuff. I wish it would be here when I will retire, in about 45 years :) Then I will have enough free time to try all the stuff there. Also, I wish it would have been a better organised website, so that I can find exactly what I want to do with an object or how to fix a small problem.

    I made an account with Pinterest 2 weeks ago and was a little confused at first. But after an hour, I started to get the hang of it and actually liked the site. I like photos of nature and animals and the pictures submitted by other members are really awesome.

    Thank you for sharing this site, it seems interesting, but I don't have many things yet to share with the other members of that site. Maybe when I get into my creative mode then I'll be visiting the site more often.
