Pinterest is a bookmarking site for images that allows users to create boards around different themes and add images to those boards by pinning them. The site currently has 12 million users, which is smaller than other social networks like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Users can follow boards, repin images to their own boards, comment on pins, and like pins. Boards can also be shared with multiple users who can all add pins. Pins can also be shared on Facebook and Twitter. The site may be useful for projects that involve sharing lots of images, video, facts for infographics, or partnering with other websites.

Editor's Notes
- #3: Hoping to be able to show you the website. Will go through slides first and then if wifi’s working will go online and I can show you how it works.
- #4: Retailers are in the shop for two weeks so every time they change we update the board. Link below goes to the trader’s website so people can buy from them directly if they can’t get to the shop.
- #5: Award-winning markets Market organisations and schemes
- #6: Pinterest traditionally for shopping but this board has more followers and Facebook likes than pop-up shop and LYLM. Using relevant images and information from partner sites eg Children’s Burns Trust and Firefighters Charity, as well as our own campaign posters, ads and videos
- #7: To raise awareness of Streetlink reporting app where people can let their local council know if they’re concerned about sleeping rough. Encourage volunteering
- #8: Example: Enterprise Zones – some EZs deal with renewable energy so that’s a subject with potentially loads of great images – wind turbines, water, nature. Don’t need to find our own, can ‘pin’ from lots of different websites.
- #9: Any questions?
