Pinterest opens to the public

Pinterest is now offering open registration to the public.

Surprisingly, the much-hyped image sharing platform was previously in an ‘invitation only’ status.

But that has not stopped millions of people using the service for business and personal activities.

Everyone is now being invited to create Pinterest accounts, and you can do so using Facebook and Twitter sign-ins as well as email addresses.

A post on the Pinterest blog said, “We’re really excited to have the capacity to offer Pinterest to more people and if you’re a pinner with friends who’ve been waiting on the sidelines, we hope you’ll let them know. Happy pinning to everyone.”
