Anyone here use it? I've been playing around and trying to get used to it... Not sure I quite 'get' it! Seeing all the flashes on here made me think about it again anyway.

    It's an online pinboard thingy where you save lots of pics. I think?

    Very cliquey though, you have to have an invite and everythin' ?

    Oooh, I thought I was the only person who wasn't au fait with it! Feel better now.

    Yeah, basically it's somewhere you can create inspiration boards but you can 'like' and 'repin' what other people have pinned AND (this is the bit I like best) you can have a "Pin It" button on your browser so whatever website you're looking at, if there's an image you want to pin, you just click the button and it adds it to your board.

    I think you can look at it here: http://pinterest.com/

    I've no idea if I can invite people. A friend sent me an invitation to it a while ago, so I assume I can add people too (if anyone wants to anyway).

    I use it. I like all the pretty pictures for wedding inspiration.

    Need to start using it for other things as well but just find it takes time!

    You basically go through the different categories and anything you like you 'pin' to your own relevant board. You can also pin things from websites using a button that you install on your bookmark bar.

    This is my profile - as you can see my wedding board is the most filled up and I'll start a separate board for the actual wedding planning pics. http://pinterest.com/Itsmehurrah/

    I do like it when I get time for it

    ETA: It's got a pretty heavy American influence though I find; good and bad points about that!

    Yep. I requested an invite and about 2 or 3 weeks later I got an email invitation. I hate that part of it but I couldn't resist any longer when twitter people keep putting links to their pinboards!

    Why do you have to have an invite though? I don't get it?

    I don't know why. I think that part of it's stupid but the rest of it I like.

    If anyone wants an invite, pm me your email and I can invite you...

    I think it's because it's new. Spotify was the same when it first launched, as was Google+

    I absolutely love Pinterest - what a great wedding inspiration tool, I've had so many ideas from it! I'm very glad I'm getting married after I've discovered it and I'd wholeheartedly encourage all Hitchers to get on there now!!

    One of my favourite Pins I saw though, was one of those humorous E-Card things that said "She may be getting married before me, but if she steals any of my wedding pins, I'll cut her!" hehe ?
