Pinterest, the ?virtual pinboard? website where users post images of everything from iPod cozies to beautifully designed skylights, is the hottest social network of 2012. The site had more than 10 million unique users in January, and cultural commentators are scrambling to explain its epic appeal. Even though Pinterest is gaining users every day, it still confounds the nonpinning public. In this conversation, Slate Web designer and Pinterest enthusiast Holly Allen tries to explain the site?s charms to Slate senior editor and Pinterest skeptic Jessica Grose.
Jess: I?m a nonvisual person by nature, and no matter how many times I try to noodle around on Pinterest, I still don?t get it on a fundamental level?whenever I go to the site the main page just looks festooned with ribbons and everyone seems obsessed with nail art. Can you explain to me why I should be grabbing photos from around the Web and sticking them on a virtual pinboard?
Holly: I don?t get what?s not to get. I wonder if those of you who don?t get it aren?t aware of Pinterest?s two parts. Most people seem to know that you can pull up the site and search for things that other people have pinned, and also repin the things you like. But do you know about the part that lives in your browser? By adding the ?pin it? button to your browser toolbar, you can use Pinterest to save anything that has an image?what to have for dinner, where to visit on vacation, cute haircuts, awesome infographics, books you want to read.
