Pinterest what is it ? And what does it do ?

Pinterest is the social media outlet that allows users to create a page consisting of pictures. it is often referred to as the online scrapbook. Pinterest was created in 2010 by Ben Silbermann , who worked for google as an online advertiser . After leaving Google Silbermann teamed up with a Paul Sciarra to produce iPhone applications. the two would later produce Tote but the application failed to gain notoriety. The two former Yale graduates would soon hit the jackpot as they would create the board based social media platform that would later be known as Pinterest.


Pinterest users not only use it to pin their pictures like a scrapbook , but also to shop for popular items .  Pinterest is primarily used by women , who commonly use it to shop for clothes and beauty products to feed their shopaholic desires. shopping is made easier through Pinterest and companies capitalize on it's growing popularity by displaying their products with a Pinterest logo to entice customers to buy their products because it was previously seen on Pinterest. for the cooks and chef's of the world there are also recipes and food boards available on Pinterest to help them take their dishes to the gourmet level.

         

Under Armor uses Pinterest to promote their products and sales. They even have the products for the upcoming seasons . Their products are geared towards the needs of athletes and their mission is to provide comfortable clothing to allow for

increased athletic performance.

one of my boards is sports memes which will consist of popular sports memes such as jokes about

how the Atlanta Falcons blew a 28 to 3 lead in the Super Bowl. my second board is similar because it is also a meme board but just funny ones in general.  my third board will consist of inspirational quotes. i chose these boards because I'm very keen on jokes and I'm a sports fanatic,but I also need inspiration at times.
