17. What is Pinterest?
“Pinterest is a Virtual Pinboard.
Pinterest lets you organize and share all the beautiful
things you find on the web. People use pinboards to
plan their weddings, decorate their homes, and
organize their favorite recipes.
Best of all, you can browse pinboards created by other
people. Browsing pinboards is a fun way to discover
new things and get inspiration from people who share
your interests.”

Cover photo: There are guidelines. Can convey brand message, must be 851 x 315 pixels must not include pricing or purchase info, contact information, calls to action.Profile photo must be 180 x 180 pixels. Only visitors and fans of the page can initiate private messaging – not the business. Can be turned off. Can pin important content to the top of the page and star it.
