In case you haven’t heard, Pinterest is the hot new social media site of the moment. It’s not even open to the general public yet, and you have to request an invitation. I’m not entirely convinced the Web needs yet another social media tool, but who knows? I have joined it.
Here are my picks for The Best Guides To Figuring Out Pinterest:
Pinterest: A Beginner’s Guide to the Hot New Social Network is from Mashable.
A Guy’s Guide To Pinterest is from Read Write Web.
A Quick Guide To Pinterest from Envigor.
Pinterest: A Step By Step Guide To Pinning Your Life Away is from Shoe String Launch.
A Newbie’s Guide to Pinterest is from The Atlantic.
Pinterest Works Better Than Google+ is from ReadWriteWeb.
A Scrapbook on the Web Catches Fire is by David Pogue at The New York Times.
Know Your Internet: What Is Pinterest and Why Should I Care? is from The Atlantic.

Larry, If I could only have 2 social media connections – Pinterest would be my first. Then I’d have to decide between Google+, Facebook or Twitter.
Pinterest not only offers me an opportunity to share materials with others, it is a great organizational tool for this early childhood educator.

Hi, Country Fun! I’m wondering about Pinterest being a good social thing. I believe you! But I don’t know how to make it so.
Right now I’m using it to remember things about teaching struggling readers that I come across online, and also for our new retirement house! But I don’t really see interaction. Is it there and I’m just missing the boat? I’d LOVE to talk with other reading teachers about things that go on with my online struggling readers. Any tips? Or you, Larry? Thanks!

I love Pinterest and just recently shared it with a colleague. Now that you have provided these wonderful tutorials/guides, I’ll be sure to share them with my other colleagues. I’m thrilled that you have demonstrated the use of Pinterest among educators.
