Pinterest

Digital inspiration boards

Pinterest is a social media platform where users collect and organize images on virtual pinboards.

Users "pin" photos, recipes, fashion ideas, or home décor inspiration to themed boards for later reference.

The site functions as a visual bookmarking tool: I found the recipe on Pinterest.

As a verb, to pinterest something is to save or browse there.
