I Got Pinned

Have you been invited?  No?  You don't know what you're missing!

Pinterest is the latest craze in the social networking sphere.  How to describe it?  I'd say it's a mix between scrapbooking, looking through magazines and a touch of crack.  Yep - crack.  That's how addictive it is.

Enter the world of Pinterest and suddenly you're finding unusual appetizers for your next gathering, cool ideas to keep the kids occupied on rainy days, a great gift for your hard-to-shop-for-mother-in-law (man, that's a lot of hyphens!) and design ideas for your dream home.  Pinterest is a way of sharing things found elsewhere on the Internet - from blogs, online catalogs, personal photos, etc. and it's catching on like wildfire!

Once in, you begin "pinning" the things you find to your "boards" to categorize them, in a way creating little electronic scrapbooks for future reference.  Through the power of Facebook and Twitter, you can share your pins with others and "friend" or "follow" others to exchange ideas.

Jump in, check it out.  But it's crazy-addictive, so don't say I didn't warn you!
