Pinterest is known to be an outlet for people who want to create their own fantasy. Most of the time, users pin photos and images to their "boards" that they find appealing, inspiring, and peaks their interests.
Users can create their own "boards" and "pin" to those boards what ever they like. A lot of the time, these pins are what users want to create or aspire to.
According to Brittney Helmrich, a Business News Daily Staff Writer, "you can find just about anything on the Web on Pinterest."
Pinterest has an abundance of categories and even a search tab where you can type in the term you want to see images of.
Users can customize their own boards and pin to specific boards to make things more organized and easier to navigate.
Pinterest doesn't have the popularity that other platforms have and its users are women more than they are men.
"Pinterest's primary use case- finding and pinning things you like- appeals to a smaller number than posting status updates or tweeting quippy 140-character messages into the digital ether" says JP Mangalindan from Mashable.Pinterest is more of a way of finding new trends and do it yourself crafts and recipes than it is of communicating with others.
