Thing @ 52

Thing # 52 Pinterest: I had heard a lot of conversation about Pinterest but didn't know what people were talking about. Then my daughter was making a project she had found on Pinterest so I tried to follow her and finally found the sight. Then I started my own account and tried to pin something. I didn't know I had to set up boards before I could do that. By using the information I have learned from this excercise I have learned how to set up the boards, how to use the pin it button, how to move the pin it button into the favorites bar, and how to pin to a board. I did have some problems trying to pin a book in ipage. It would act like it was going to pin and then wouldn't so I have to go to Amazon to find the pins. I have applied for an account for the library and I can see how pinning new books to a board or info about upcoming speakers or classes at the library will be great. The one down side is a lot of people have no idea what Pinterest is.
