About Pinterest

Pinterest is an image-based social platform that allows users to create and manage their image collections. Users can have those images themed and then share them with their friends as well as other users.

You can upload any kind of image such as events, memoirs, parties, brands, interests, etc. On Pinterest, you can place all of your photos in a single place before sharing them or re-pin them to others' pin boards.

Pinterest sounds like so much fun, although brands have found great ways to drive their brand through the social platform.
