Pinterest

Pinterest is a virtual pinboard.  Users can organize their thoughts and photos on pinboards and then share them with others.  "The mission statement of Pinterest is to connect everyone in the world through shared tastes and the “things” they find interesting."

Users can create a board. A board is a set of pins created on any given topic. Suggested boards include: products I love, favorite places & spaces, books worth reading, my style, for the home, food.  Some examples of applications are brides-to-be have a place to store pictures of gowns and things they would like for the wedding.  Some people create a board for each room in their house and then pin decorating ideas for that room to that specific board.  You can keep an online recipe box.  Boards can have multiple people contribute and so collaborating with co-workers or family members is easy as everyone's ideas can be stored in one place.
