Sometimes, when I am particularly agitated, or having a bad day, sitting on Pinterest for a while, or looking through my boards is incredibly relaxing and cathartic. It has been known to stop more than one anxiety attack in it's tracks. <br /><br />:) Off to visit yours.TheThingsIdTellYouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06864291645372635512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141383639448060234.post-30094285695095605012012-03-04T21:43:32.458+11:002012-03-04T21:43:32.458+11:00Thank you!

I found out about Pinterest from Montessori mailing lists I'm on, where people use Pinterest to collect activity ideas so I've not thought of it as a style board but more of a visual bookmarking tool - much better than lists of links that I never look at again :-) <br /><br />The Fiction Fridays board came about because I wanted to revist the books that had been showcased in previous weeks when it hit me that Pinterest could bookmark them all and keep them in one place with little effort on my part. I'm all about minimum effort ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141383639448060234.post-26389008078189067322012-02-28T17:30:00.275+11:002012-02-28T17:30:00.275+11:00Hi Kath,

However I pinned an image I had uploaded to my blog, and was surprised to see it credited the original source, to the point that I saw the source I thought was original, which I had credited in my blog, was not it! So I was very impressed with that.<br />I think for starters (apart from my hairstyle inspirations) I will be using Pinterest for this purpose, to store useful images for later.<br />Yep, Twitter and Fb and the rest are time-sucker-uppers for sure - hence I am avoiding Stumble Upon, Reddit, Digg, Google Plus and everything else for now!<br />We need an app that unifies the lot.Jackie Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322613989851869319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141383639448060234.post-66543636072433764022012-02-28T17:25:45.441+11:002012-02-28T17:25:45.441+11:00Thanks Andrea - your Pinterest boards are a great ...Thanks Andrea - your Pinterest boards are a great compliment to your blog.Jackie Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322613989851869319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141383639448060234.post-62923836911700193792012-02-28T02:02:37.644+11:002012-02-28T02:02:37.644+11:00I know that Sapphire uses it and loves it (as an i...I know that Sapphire uses it and loves it (as an inspiration board, as you say above) but it does intrigue me if it holds the website credits of the images.
