What is Pinterest and How to use it?

Development of Pinterest began in December 2009, and the site launched as a closed beta in March 2010. The site proceeded to operate in invitation-only open beta.On August 16, 2011, Time magazine listed Pinterest in its "50 Best Websites of 2011" article.
Pinterest is similar to earlier social, image bookmarking systems based on the same principle, such as David Galbraith's 2005 project Wists.

Users of Pinterest create themed boards, populating them with media found online using the "Pin It" button, or uploaded from their computers. Each such item of media is known as a "pin", and can be a picture, a video, a discussion, or a product. Pins can be grouped into so called "boards", which are sets of pins focused on a specific topic. Pinterest can be accessed by adding the "pin it" button to the desktop bookmark bar, "follow me" and "pin it" buttons added to personal website or blog pages.

According to the about page of Pinterest "Pinterest is a 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."
