ALTERNATIVES
Similar sites to Pinterest include Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, and Facebook.
DESCRIPTION
The homepage showed pictures of getting new ideas for home decor, outfits, weekend dinners, and “green thumbs” (plants). I scrolled down. The next screen showed ways Pinterest can be used to search for ideas. I scrolled down and it showed how Pinterest can save the ideas you like. At the bottom of the page was a signup form requesting email, password, and date of birth. I logged into my account. There were many pictures on the first page. I clicked on one of Serena Williams. When I hovered over the image, it showed the domain it was taken from in the bottom left corner. Next to the image was a description regarding what tennis tournament Serena was playing in when the picture was taken. There was a button to share the image and a three-dotted menu. I could also save the image to my Pinterest profile. When I scrolled down, there were many other related images beneath it. Some images were of Serena and others were of different tennis players. 6/17/2024
