Why Pinterest Is Amazing

Recently we updated the “Pinterest Etiquette” - a few guidelines that help make Pinterest the warm and creative community it is today.

It may sound strange to have ‘etiquette’ for a website, but we really believe Pinterest is special because of all the incredible people pinning the things they love. Every day, I open my email to thoughtful comments and suggestions: I never cringe the way I do when reading comments on YouTube. Like no other place, Pinners have helped me discover some of my favorite blogs, what I should read next, and stores I now visit far too often. Pinners constantly answer each other’s questions about sources, sellers, links, and labels. It really is amazing.

So thanks to all of our early Pinners who’ve helped create a community we’re so proud of. As we continue to grow, we hope “Pinterest Etiquette” will help new Pinners understand what kind of community they’re joining. And no matter when you started pinning, we’d love for you to give it a read and tell us how Pinterest can be even better!
