Wednesday Words: Pinner

We return to Pinterest terms this week with the term "Pinner." A pinner is a person who pins images to their boards - whether it be their personal boards, business boards or shared boards.

Anyone can be a pinner - including you dear reader. Pinners help spread links of useful blog posts, inspirational images and more by pinning them. Pinterest is also a great way to bookmark things you want to come back to - you should see my home organization board and favorite recipes.

Wednesday Words are a series of definitions released on Wednesday each week regarding a word found specific to Facebook's social media platform, or may be a generic word dealing with social media. These definitions are to help provide you with a better understanding of common and uncommon terms associated with Facebook and social media.
