    Are any of you using Pinterest yet and what do you think of it? I really like it so far.

    I am just getting started - but it's so easy to use and I really enjoy creating the different pinboards.  I can see collecting vision boards on here for all sorts of projects I want to create.  It's very "visual" so I think that's why it appeals to me more than just bookmarks.  Also it has the social networking aspect to it as well - very clever idea and it seems to really be taking off for good reason.  Have you used it and what are your thoughts? What have you done with it?

    I personally don't like it, it think that it is a service that is not necessary. I use tumblr for photo sharing, you can do pretty much the same thing and tumblr has more people interacting with you pictures.

    I really like Pinterest. I like sharing the things I like and finding awesome craft ideas from others. I also look for any type of art that others share.

    I've also started to share my articles there, too. Gotten some pretty good hits from there. Not a lot, but any time someone repins, that's good for me!

    P.S. I'm the same name there!

    I recently joined Pinterest and I am really enjoying it. Being a highly visual person it is great to have a place where I can view all of my favorite photos and ideas in one place. It's also been really handy in finding recipe and wedding ideas- two things I am very interested in. I also really like how it is a positive community. People go to Pinterest to be creative and have fun, so there isn't conflict like there can be on other social networking type sites.

    I also a fan of Pinterest. It's rather addictive! I use Evernote to capture a lot of information and documents, but it just doesn't work as well for visually-oriented things as does Pinterest.

    I started using it myself after I discovered others were bookmarking pieces from my own websites there.  The only problem for me is that it's a little buggy, sometimes I can't get an image to pin, especially in Chrome.   Anyway, I love how visual it is, it's addictive like StumbleUpon.
