What is Pinterest and how can it help you as a social media tool? What other new social media tool would you find beneficial?

        Pinterest is photo sharing online pin board website. It is a great idea generator and online organizer. You may upload varies photos you find on the web or from personal collection, as well as like or pin other users photos. It is easy to set up an account, not much information is needed. Once the user get started the instructions are basic and straightforward.unlike most social media websites, Pinterest is purely photo sharing, no conversing necessary. For organization purposes, you create boards with specific category features and search. There has been a recent rise in Pinterest for wedding planning, meal preparation, and herbal gardening.
        I am not a early adaptor on new and  trending social media tools, but I do find CardMunch very beneficial. CardMunch part of LinkedIn (another very useful social media website), it is a mobile business card  transcription service. It is a quick easy way to save and reconnect with a fellow professional. This is also a great organization tool for people who are constantly exchanging business cards. Not only does it stores the contact information in your LinkedIn, but it saves you the time of searching and sending a friend request online!
