With all of the social media sites these days connecting people via Internet, the ideas website creators have are endless. One website in particular that may spark your interest is called Pinterest. Pinterest is a relatively new social media website that allows users to browse through multiple pictures, or ?pins,? varying in content from?32 different categories that it offers. Categories include Do-it-yourself, Fitness, Food & Drink, Photography, Wedding & Events and many others to fulfill any interest group.
The way that Pinterest works is a simple process. People that would like to activate an account request an invite using their e-mail address. The reason a request is necessary is due to the overload of users on the website now, due to popularity. After an invitation is sent, users can choose to connect their account to their Facebook or Twitter account to make an easier and more efficient way to follow their friends and their pins. With Pinterest, you are able to create pinboards in which you can pin pictures you find through your followed friends, or the public category browsing option. You also may add your own photos and links to personal blogs for more information on your interests so others can re-pin your photos. External links are often used when you click on a pin. This redirects the user to another website; a recipe for the dessert you pinned, a website to purchase a product, etc. Once boards are created, users can add as many pictures or pins as they want to so that ideas and pictures can mesh together forming one broad area of interest. When users re-pin a picture, you have to ability to edit the description of a pin so that the web can view your own interpretation of an idea.
Pinterest was founded by Ben Sibermann from West Des Moines, Iowa. It was launched in March 2010. After just nine months, there were over 10,000 users. Pinterest is now based in Palo Alto, California.
Many Pinners? favorite category is the Food & Drink section. This has recipes to creative desserts, appetizers, meals and many more tasty ideas. Seniors Tara Franz and Ashley Falkner whipped up two desserts together.
?We made peanut butter brownies and flourless chocolate cookies,? Franz said.
Along with categories just for fun, useful ideas for organization are also featured. School Librarian Mrs. Thompson uses Pinterest actively for fun, as well for a resource for education. Thompson made multiple signs that benefit the library and teaching visuals.
?We also looked at something that showed different ways to tie a scarf,? Thompson said.
Soon-to-be bride Miss Robinson has looked at the Wedding category to look at inspiration for things like flower arrangements and styles.
Pinterest is not just limited to girls; many things are available for guys too! Although many have become familiar with the website, but not everyone is involved. Make sure to check it out in the future! For now, here is an example of one of the most popular desserts that have got everyone?s mouths watering.
Pinterest's "Cookie-Oreo-Brownie" dessert is a big hit. Start out with 1 box of normal brownie mix, 1 box of oreos, and 2 rolls of cookie dough.
?
Press the cookie dough evenly throughout the whole pan.
?
After dough is spread out, put a single layer of oreos evenly over the dough.
?
Make sure the oreos cover the majority of the dough.
When oreos are placed on the dough, prepare the brownie mix as stated on the box. Pour the brownie batter on top of the oreos and spread evenly.
?
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the outsides look done.
?
Enjoy!
