Pinterest is a virtual pinboard. There's a little widget you install onto your browser (for those of you who work with me, yes, this works on our antiquated computer system). Anytime you're on a web page with an image you like, you can hit the "Pin It" button on your bookmark bar. A pop up appears and you're able to, among other things, comment on the image, attribute it and categorize it. Users follow other user's pins much like Twitter or Instagram.
Pinterest is great for gift inspiration. After all, it's a catalog of what your friends actually want (brilliant, it's constantly marketing to me and I don't even care). Here are a few of my favorite pins by the people I follow:
