Ever seen the TV show 'Hoarders'? It is about people that live buried in stuff they feel completely emotionally attached to. A year ago my bookmarks, in Firefox, looked like I should be on that show. I remember flipping through links buried in carefully labeled folders to find my perfect chocolate cake recipe when it hit me: I am a virtual hoarder.
Then I discovered Pinterest, a visual bookmarking social network. Pinterest not only helped me shed my hoarding issue, it revolutionized how I define my design style. Seeing everything I love together, I can't deny that I'm inspired by hand-crafted type, organic patterns and infographics. And I favor recipes that involve baking.
Pinterest will always be my first bookmarklet love, but there's a new site in town. It is still in beta, but the clean simple lines and ability to make your finds private have drawn me in - https://gimmebar.com/
Happy Pinning. Or Gimmebarring. Or (if you're like me) both.
