- Pinterest is a 2.0 website because people upload pictures that they like and create boards with them. Other people can repin and comment on the pictures.
- There are about 1,471,536 monthly users
- Users can use pinterest to create "thought boards" based on themes such as style, home interiors, and diy projects. They can find inspiration from other users' pins and comments. For example, I use pinterest for house decorating ideas. I also have a separate board for recipes that I want to try. All of these pins have been suggested from other users.
- Social issues are: intellectual property and people and machines. For the issue of intellectual property, some of the pins most likely have copyright laws which protect them from being posted. For people and machines, pinterest makes it easier to plan design projects and to organize inspiration, which makes designing easier.
- The area of impact is arts, entertainment, and leisure because pinterest is a site where people can plan projects and find inspiration, which is fun.
