Ditto what Lisa asked

Umm it's like a virtual pin board / social network type of thing, you might have seen the pinit button on ETSY etc. It is a bit addictive I've pinned a few tutorials, photos etc.

Here is what wiki say about it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinterest

Thank you!

Thanks Cornish. Just read the wiki thing and have to take issue with the fact that it says something about more women using it and sharing a love of fashion and food! A bit sexist methinks

Hmmmm, I was on the fence, might lean now...

Interesting that Tinker, I did wonder about the legal side of it, when I had a look.

I have been discussing this on another forum and on there we are going to watermark our photos.

Here are a few more articles on it.

I have removed a lot of my pins and will only pinning my own works and those of people who consent, I think it could be a good marketing tool.

Ach I just don't think I have the time for all that :-/

Will go back to watermarking my pics though I think, it was a faff but I've got lax at doing it.
