it's a site where you have different boards (like For the Home, Food, Toys, Things I Like) and you post pictures up on those boards and other people see your pics and can "re-pin" them (which is basically reposting, or sharing). you know how when you look at pics in magazine and you might see something you like and you rip out the picture and pin it up on your wall or a corkboard or something? it's kinda like a virtual corkboard...like how instagram is for iphone pictures and stuff...

There is no way I would use Pinterest. I have just read this, posted on Facebook by Shira of shira.net, and don't believe that people are aware of what they're actually signing up to


[h=6]Before you use Pinterest, read the user agreement CAREFULLY. "By making available any... Content through the Site... you hereby grant to Cold Brew Labs a worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense, to use, copy, adapt, modify, distribute, license, sell, transfer, publicly display, publicly perform, transmit, stream, broadcast, access, view, and otherwise exploit such Member Content only on, through or by means of the Site, Application or Services."

Beware of this - do you really want to grant a corporation the right to COPY, ADAPT, MODIFY, and SELL stuff you upload? And don't upload any photos taken by professional photographers, because you legally DO NOT have the right to give away to Pinterest the professional photographer's rights to the photos.[/h]

If I had a business or I was an artist and uploaded original work then of course I wouldn't use Pinterest. But I don't, and my personal use for this is to get recipe, fashion, diy, and decorating ideas among other things.

i'm the same. i think fb's policy is also that they get the right to whatever pics you upload, so i know some people don't like to upload any photos of themselves even on it.

i only signed up to pinterest two days ago or something, and i like it as a way of finding new images or recipes etc to be inspired by. my understanding is that the pinterest software credits the place you link from anyway....?

Yep! Sometimes though people just post images but mostly it will take you back to the website it was found from.
