Pintrest as a source of reference info

[Anthony Kesterton]

Hi

I have recently started using Pintrest as a way to capture links to useful information on model-building topics. For people who do not know about Pintrest, you create "pins" to web sites and images of interest, and organise them into "boards". The metaphor is a notice board where items are pinned to the board. As usual with the internet, the linked site may disappear at any time. Pintrest does try and block what it considers inappropriate content, or links to compromised web sites but you should always be cautious about what you click on.

I was surprised to find a search on something like "spitfire vb" brought up a load of links to images. These links in turn direct you to the original web site and you can decide whether the content is useful or not.

One of my own simple examples is a set of links on building vinyl kits - http://www.pinterest.com/kesterto/building-vinyl-kits/

Hope someone might find this additional source of info useful.
