Pinterest

What is Pinterest? Pinterest is a social catalog service. Think of it as a virtual pinboard — a place where you can post collections of things you love, and "follow" collections created by people with great taste.

How do I add a pin? You can upload a file using the Add a Pin button in the menu bar. We recommend installing the pinterest bookmarklet (in the yellow bar above). It's a special button that lets you pin images from any website.

What is 'repinning'? Repinning re-posting a pin to your own collection. When you repin we credit the person who first pinned the item. We let you see all the different collections a pin is part of.

Why do you use Facebook Connect? Facebook makes it easy to find your friends. But, we also care a lot about your privacy. We don't publish anything to your feed without explicit permission. You can change the name that is displayed within Pinterest at any time.

Who Makes Pinterest? Paul, Yash, and Ben work on Pinterest as proud members of Cold Brew Labs, a startup in sunny Palo Alto, CA. We get lots of help from our very talented friend Evan.

But more than any of us, it's the people using Pinterest who make it special. Pinterest members discover the incredible content on the site and provide an endless supply of great suggestions and encouragement. Thanks!
