Pinterest is a free social media platform founded in 2009. The site and app act as a digital bulletin board, allowing users to collect and “Pin” recipes, outfit pics and other visual media from across the web.
Detailed Explanation
So, what exactly is Pinterest used for? People commonly peruse the platform for inspiration. Users create “boards” to store photos and links that appeal to them, and they can organize and categorize those boards by topic (such as DIY projects, kids’ crafts, home decor and fashion). The app also acts as a search engine, allowing users to find others’ Pins related to their query.
With a Pinterest account, you can follow other users, comment on Pins and message in-app. And once Pinterest’s algorithm understands your interests, it shows you a scrollable page of endless content tailored to your Pins and searches.
If you’re building a brand through social media, Pinterest is another opportunity to grow your audience. To send current followers to your Pinterest profile and connect your presence across the web, add a Linktree to your other social media bios.
