I dont think theres anyone who hasnt heard of Pinterest, but in case youve been living under a rock, Pinterest can be explained as a free website which allows users to register, upload, save, sort, and manage images (known as pins) as well as other media content (such as videos and images). 

These collections are known as pinboards. As a user, you can browse the main page for other content that takes your interest  and pin it  get it? Pin  interest.
