You may have heard of Pinterest. It is 1 of the “fastest growing social services in the world.” Pinterest is a pinboard-style social photo sharing website that allows users to create and manage theme-based image collections such as events, interests, hobbies, and more. Users can browse other pinboards for inspiration, 're-pin' images to their own collections and/or 'like' photos. Pinterest's mission is to "connect everyone in the world through the 'things' they find interesting" via a global platform of inspiration and idea sharing. Pinterest allows its users to share 'pins' on both Twitter and Facebook, which allows users to share and interact with a broad community. It was founded by Ben Silbermann, of West Des Moines IA. The site is managed by Cold Brew Labs and funded by a small group of entrepreneurs and inventors. Development of Pinterest began in December 2009, and the site launched as a closed beta in March 2010. Their Mission Statement is: "Our goal is to connect everyone in the world through the 'things' they find interesting. We think that a favorite book, toy, or recipe can reveal a common link between two people. With millions of new pins added every week, Pinterest is connecting people all over the world based on shared tastes and interests."
