As a giant virtual pinboard, Pinterest allows you to organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web. You can browse pinboards created by other people to discover new things and get inspiration from people who share your interests. You can repin, leave comment and like photos. Extended features allow you to like pages that will automatically appear on your facebook profile, tweet or even embed photos on your website.

But those feelings are easy to overcome as soon as you learned these helpful pointers before you register in the site.
