Has anyone heard of/been to the "Pinterest" site?

On the "Pinterest site members create virtual boards called Pinboards where they collect photos from the internet. Most of the members use a theme for their boards, and I found quite a lot of people like looking at handmade items. http://pinterest.com/search/?q=upcycled

Even though I was not a member, when I clicked on the photo I was taken to the site where the photo originated. and YES I could have purchased an item directly from the original site, so photos are important to sales, regardless where they are displayed. I did not find Zibbet, but blogspot came up.

The theme of the board does not have to be in the title for the photo to be in the collection, so search words are very useful.

You can view the Pinboards without being a member, but you have to join to comment. You can login with your Facebook account or create a new one for the site.

I forgot to mention.... if you see a pin you like, hover over the persons name under it. If it turns blue then click it and it takes you to their page. You can then "follow" all of their postings or just a 'board or two"

Does that help?
