Our assignment for this week was to join a new social network. It took me a minute to think of one to join because I'm already on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Tumblr. I decided on Pinterest. Its the one social network that I have been avoiding since it became popular. I never saw the need to make a Pinterest for myself because I was already a part of so many other social networks. On Pinterest, you make different "boards" for your profile. The boards are similar to a folder on your desktop or email. Pinterest users post different things to themed boards. The "pins" that you post can be anything from cooking recipes to fashion advice to pictures of cute animals. Anyone can upload a pin, and anyone can re-pin. After making my first pin (a precious pup in a cup), I was instantly sucked into Pinterest. There is such an overwhelming amount of "pins" on pinterest, and I felt like I could scroll through the homepage for days. You can search specific tags, and my favorite things to look at were DIY crafts. I should have picked a less entertaining social media to join because I have a feeling Pinterest is about to consume my time.
Heres the link to my pinterest profile. I'm still trying to figure out how everything works, but I'm excited to be part of a new network!
