… or else I waste a LOT of time.

I recently joined Pinterest, a website that allows you to curate and catalog different interests online. I’ve mainly been using it to bookmark great design for inspiration, DIY and craft tutorials and some ideas for my sketchbook.

Well, apparently people like what I’m posting because this week I’m in the top overall most “prolific” pinners.  I’m also one of the top 5 pinners for design+packaging.

Seriously, apparently I need to get a life. But, I’ve collected a lot of fabulous finds from around the interwebs and I’ve got my own lil station for inspiration rather than pulling out a book I’ve seen a million times.

I may or may not have stolen this idea from my friend at Domestica.

Regardless, I’m doing it.

Recently I was invited to a wonderful community where people can curate and share things that they love with one another. It’s called Pinterest. It was pretty much what I used to use tumblr for, but better. It’s like visual bookmarks for things I want to come back to. Not to mention, it’s helped me find all sorts of new things that I love to look at.

Here’s something lovely I found and posted on my designy board.

However, Pinterest is invite-only for now. BUT: I have 5 invites to give away!

Interested yet?  I know I would be.  How do you win?

Well … let’s see here … how about we make this contest about social networking — since that’s what Pinterest is about. To enter, comment on this post and tell me your favorite social networking site and why I should use it.

Good luck! I’m closing the comments at midnight on August 15 and a winner will be posted that day (winner chosen with the random integer generator).
