That's right! Just when you thought you couldn't get more social than with Facebook, Twitter and Google +, there's a new kid in town, so get ready to create yet another account on yet another smashing social network: Pinterest. 
Just what exactly is Pinterest and what's the difference it makes, you ask? I have only two words for you: visual boards. That's right, Pinterest relies on the power of images, rather than the written words. In a few words, ideas grouped together in the form of images on a board of a user's page. Here are the rules of the game, in case you're still wondering how it works: Terms:
• Pinner: A user on Pinterest.
• Pins: Images, articles or videos uploaded via PC or found on the web and added to Pinterest.
• Boards: The place where you place your pins. Boards are sorted into categories or subjects like food, sports, or likes etc. Actions:
• Pin: The action of adding an image of your own choice to one of your boards.
• Re-Pin: Adding an image that you've already found on Pinterest onto your board; when you Re-Pin something, the user who pinned the image first is credited; same goes for the users that Re-Pin your pins - you get credited.
• Mention: The action of mentioning other Pinners in the comments of your pins by using the "@" symbol and adding the username of the Pinner.
• Like: This one's borrowed from Facebook, and it has the exact same meaning, including the part where or your "Likes" are placed together in a "Like Section", on your profile.
• Follow: This one's borrowed from Twitter: you can follow the Pinners that interest you and receive their updates on your profile. And now that you've been properly introduced to the language of the site, here are some ideas for your first boards on Pinterest:
• Your Favorites: From foods and beverages, to habbies and presents, don't refrain from letting people know what you like.
• Your Traveling Destinations: Currently on your to do list, or recently visited, share them for your fellow pinners to see and get inspired.
• Your Beliefs: If you're fighting for a cause, raise awareness for it.
• Your Personality: Find the things that best illustrate the way you are and make a board for everyone to see and enjoy.
• Your Plans: Imagine a fun to-do list and share it with the world. Stay tuned for tips on how to optimize your Pinterest account and establish your escort brand on this fresh and exciting social network. On your marks, get set, pin!
