Are you on Pinterest yet?

You should be, because it's awesome.  I truly think it is the next big tech/web-site movement.  I discovered it about a month ago, which was perfect timing given that I am brainstorming the style and design of our new house. 

If you're not familiar with Pinterest, here's the jist.  Do you ever find something on a web-site and want to save it for later? Pre-Pinterest, I did this a lot, especially with recipes.  I would copy the link into an e-mail to myself.  And then I would forget about it, and it would be lost in the black hole of my gmail in-box, never to be seen again. 

The genious behind Pinterest came up with a concept that allows you to click on an image on a web-site, and save it to a categorized board in your account.  Even more genious is that there is a social networking component, which allows friends to follow you, and see your boards.  So now, if I find a recipe that looks amazing, I click on my Pinterest Bookmarklet, select the recipe picture, and pin it to my "Recipes" board. 

If you want an invite (it is very exclusive), let me know!
