Pinterest Overview

Pinterest is a social media app that is for searching for ideas. It was launched more than a decade ago in January 2010 and it has been nominated for Teen Choice Award for Choice Social Network in 2013. The founders of Pinterest are Ben Silverman, Paul Sciarra, and Evan Sharp.

Pinterest is the app you go to for inspiration. Once you first open the app, it lets you pick out topics that you want to show on your feed. These topics can range from art to the sky and even tattoos. Once you pick your desired topics, they show up in your feed and you can save them, or add them to a board. You can make various boards to add your “pins” to.

Pinterest has such a great algorithm. If you save a pin to your board, view a picture, or download it, it will show that in your feed. For example, if you save a picture of an outfit on Pinterest, it will show more pictures of outfits on your feed the next time it refreshes. This can be really useful but if you don’t like that, you can turn off the home feed tuner in your settings.

Personally, I use Pinterest a lot. I use it on lots of various occasions. I sometimes use it when I want to find inspiration for an outfit for school the next day or when I want to get a haircut but don’t know what. I have many boards such as some boards for my home screen theme ideas and some boards for food recipe ideas. I really love Pinterest and I have started many of my hobbies because of it. I started to crochet because I found this one cute crochet miffy pouch on Pinterest and I have adored crocheting ever since. I really recommend Pinterest.
