Do you find that you spend a lot of your time cruising on Twitter or Facebook and can’t wait for that next update from your best friend? Or maybe, you find that social networking in general is too intimidating, and you avoid it at all costs.
I admit it, I’m addicted to Pinterest. It is a website where you can save images (called pinning) and information from other websites in folders. You have to create an account with a username and password. A coworker "invited" me to join, and so I started an account to save card-making ideas into folders. If you haven't received an invitation to join, you can go to their website and request an invite.
The Midwest Genealogy Center has joined the Pinterest community. We are very excited about this new opportunity to share all the wonderful resources MGC has to offer. Pinterest’s main attraction is the ability to share photos and websites through "pinning" and allow others to share or "repin" your information; think online scrapbooking. Users create boards to hold their pins, and followers can repin whole boards, as well.
