Virtual pinboard Pinterest helps journalists find trend stories, display their work and more. The social networking site has more than four million users, landing it a spot on a list of most visited social media sites of 2011 . Perfect for showing off your favorite finds as you troll the web, users "pin" images to themed boards for visually-appealing displays. Don't be put off by its "invite-only" status.

7 Ways Journalists Can Use Pinterest
By SARAH E. NEEDLEMAN And PUI-WING TAM If you haven't heard of Pinterest, you likely will soon.

Pinterest , a virtual bulletin board for saving and sharing web pages of interest, allows users to create and display boards of interests -- creating an identity through links, pictures, words and ideas. The social media site also hit 11.7 million unique monthly U.S. visitors, hitting the 10 million mark faster than any other standalone site in history, according to Tech Crunch.
