Pinterest

OMG!  I'm in love...with Pinterest.  Why had I not discovered this earlier?  Now it is my new obsession and I love it. 

I love my google reader, but I realized that pinterest allows me to link all those "Favorite" posts of recipes or home ideas in one place (but organized by boards).  If I had this when I was planning my wedding it would have been so much easier, and I probably would have wasted even more time looking for pictures/inspiration. 

I do recognize some limitations of Pinterest, if the picture is incorrectly linked to the original source, this leads to difficulties finding the correct source (not so much a problem with inspiration type images, a real problem for recipes).  And of course the intellectual property infringement possibilities are significant.  But hopefully this site is used for inspiration and sharing ideas and NOT for thieving pictures.  I know I don't take beautiful foodie pics, so I'm not really worried about my personal pics making it onto other web pages ;)
