to think that Pinterest is even more addictive than MN...

Pinterest loveliness...

[Firawla]

yanbu it is really addictive, im sometimes sat there pinning stuff in the middle of the night thinking to myself i should be asleep.. but it is quite relaxing

[HecateGoddessOfTheNight]

Never heard of it. Looks interesting.

They should pay you for marketing for them

[Almondroca]

Never heard of it either but having looked I may be sitting here all afternoon now.

[ViviPrudolf]

Its pure internet smack.

Everyone on AIBU having a whinge-up about the trials of gift giving, xmas lists, present ideas etc need to get themselves and their loved ones pinning. We have a 'letter to Santa' pinterest board each which is far more useful and gentle than a grabby present list.

How many followers have you got, swan?

[swanfall]

It's just genius.

[swanfall]

I think I have...8

I am a pretty selective pinner so maybe I don't pin often enough for people to bother following me? Or maybe I have no taste How DO people get so many followers?

[nevergoogle]

i love it too.

[ViviPrudolf]

I'll follow you, Swan... will PM you...

[swanfall]

How many do you have Vivi? I also don't follow many people, so maybe that has something to do with it.

[TopazMortmain]

Ditto.

Pinterest love

[ATruthFestivelyAcknowledged]

I've never seen it before. Looks interesting though. How does it work?

[TheRepublicOfDreams]

I requested to join just over two months ago and have not managed to get an invite :(

[overmydeadbody]

I am a pinterest addict too.

this is me (I think)

[overmydeadbody]

TheRepublicofDreams PM me your email if you like and I will invite you.

[ViviPrudolf]

56 but I've been on a while, really not that many comparatively.... Anyway I was just being a dick about the followers, it really doesn't matter. What matters is the pinning JOY.

Oh I do have impeccable taste though

[ViviPrudolf]

Wow, the 'Things You Have Made' are SPLENDID, Over

[SayYuleNowSayWhipTheReindeer]

Never heard of it. What's the point of it? Because I really need something ELSE to be addicted to

[swanfall]

You DO Vivi! Love your Xmas board

[TheRepublicOfDreams]

really? Thank you thank you thank you! Pm on its way!!!!!!!!!

[ViviPrudolf]

Thanks Swan. My lounge is now the living embodiment of my Xmas board . Your 'places to go' look like my dream travel wishlist....

SayYule & ATruth basically you create themed 'pinboards' and whenever you come across something on the web that you like the look of, you 'pin' it to your boards, and it creates a collage of all those things, and the best part is it links back to the original page, so great for gift lists etc.

[LEttletownofBOFlehem]

Ooh, can someone invite me, please? I really need another way to waste time on the internet.

[swanfall]

Over I am following you

[overmydeadbody]

Thank you Vivi! I need to update the things I have made really.

The point of pinterest? Why, to look at pretty pictures, pin them all onto your own boards for looking at again later, clicking on them to go straight to the link to their source (quite often a lovely blog that you waste spend more time browsing) and basically keping all your pretty inspirational pictures in one place.

[overmydeadbody]

Anyone who wants an invite, PM me your email address and I will try to do it, you are lucky I have some time today! I have been browsing pinterest this afternoon for inspiration for how to wrap my Christmas presents this year.

[ViviPrudolf]

PM me anyone who would like an invite

I'd need your email address to send the invite. Nothing dodgy - that's just how it works, and if I remember rightly, I think you might need to have a Facebook account to join but that may have changed since I started.
