Library Codex. Lawyer assesses Pinterest's copyright situation. Pinterest: A New Social Media Opportunity for Libraries. Pinterest is one of the newest social media websites that is rapidly gaining popularity.
The site’s philosophy is to connect people through what they find interesting. Users can create multiple boards and “pin” images or videos off of other websites to their boards to share with others. It is like one’s own personal post-it board, but for the internet. Like many, I am attracted to Pinterest because it is a popular message board where both the users and advertisers “pin” stunning images and quotes.
