Staying in the social media loop can sometimes be like a separate part-time (or full-time for some of you internet junkies) job. That's why Escaype Enterprises is introducing you to one of the newest and fastest-growing social media networks out there right now... Pinterest !
If you're familiar with it, just read this blog for the heck of it. But if you're one of the many social media buffs who are up to speed with Facebook & Twitter but do NOT know about this new network... read on, friends!
Just what is Pinterest anyway?
Pinterest is a site where you can go to share and organize things you personally find interesting or inspiring (like images, videos, etc.). Once these files are uploaded or shared, these images become known as "Pins," which you can then "attach" on customized, themed Boards. You can create boards for just about any topic... from pets who perform tricks to laughing babies!
In Which Ways Can I Use Pinterest?
Pinterest can be a really cool tool for people with a specific purpose in mind:
-New Year's Resolutions
-Places you've always wanted to travel
-Things you're saving up money to buy,
-or yes...your very own Bucket List (okay, maybe that one is a little bizarre).
So How is Pinterest a Social Media Platform?
Pinning’s more fun when you have someone else to do it with you. You can do this by accessing the "everything" drop-down menu and filter the boards by category. When you see a good "Pin," leave a comment, Like it (just like you do on Facebook ), or "Repin" it to one of your own boards.
And Just How Can You Jump on the Pinterest Bandwagon?
There's a little bit of a "Fight Club" policy if you really want to be part of Pinterest ...That's because you have to be invited! You can sign up for invites on the site (but you'll still have to wait on a response), or chances are you may already know a Pinner who will gladly send you an invite. Ask around... you may be surprised to know that there are active Pinners all around you. Now doesn't that bring a whole new meaning to the phrase, "being pinned down!"
