Pinterest, the image-based social network has opened its website up to all, relaxing their previous sign-up policy. Prospective users required an invite to become members.
Pinterest lets you organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web. People use pinboards to plan their weddings, decorate their homes, and organize their favorite recipes.
Launched in 2010, Pinterest became the fatest-growing website ever, passing 10 million users in just nine months. As when Twitter first launched, Pinterest has yet to disclose their commercial plan, after trialling various money-raising techniques.
"They're one of the main sites that serve the so-called social collectors, people who like to curate information across the web" said Darika Ahrens, Forrester Research Analyst.
