Norma Miller That is WAY cool! :) Too bad you can't keep them like that and keep adding pins to the board. Maybe Pinterest will eventually add the capability for you to choose a photo or icon for each board.

Though social sharing site Pinterest hasn’t gone dark to protest SOPA, a user has suggested a way that members can effectively create a Pinterest blackout. Len Kendall, director of digital at public relations firm Golin Harris, has used his Pinterest presence to protest the proposed measure with a “Stop SOPA” board. The board, as you might expect, features nothing but black spaces.

With over 400,000 visitors per month – and rapidly growing – Pinterest is a huge referral source for brands. Real Simple recently reported that Pinterest drove more traffic to its website than Facebook in the month of October. Smaller brands should take note of Cabot Cheese, which uses Pinterest to curate photos of food that can be made with its cheese — other boards include fun photos of cows, farms and Vermont.

Sakoiya Herring Umm..well, one user said it best (sbarnes0215) The beauty of Pinterest is it’s NOT over-saturated with marketers, brands and advertising messages. One thing Mashable hasn’t addressed in the many, many Pinterest-related articles (and maybe they have and I missed it), is mention of Pinterest’s Pin Etiquette, note #3: http://pinterest.com/about/...
Marci Wolcott I agree. I sometimes pin pictures of hair or a video tutorial I've done but companies should respect that Pinterest is not intended to be a marketing forum and expects its users to be genuine participants.
mochaberry I agree. I'm disappointed to see major companies and corporations trying to "utilize Pinterest to their advantage". I recently saw a list of 'Top Pinterest Accounts to Follow' and most of them were large companies. I'd rather be directed to really great Boards of 'regular people'. Today I even saw an "ad" Pin about something for BH&G. Really? Bleh.
Olivia Ting Wow, I totally agree with the posters above.
At Mashable‘s request, Pinterest has identified the following brands that it believes are following the site’s “best practices".

"I was always collecting images on the web in folders on the desktop of my computer, but it wasn’t a very good system for remembering where things came from or who made them. We wanted to create a place where you can go to upload or collect things on the web and simply organize it the way you want to." - Evan Sharp, Pinterest Designer and Co-Founder

ModCloth joined Pinterest in the fall of 2011, but it’s already one of ModCloth.com’s top unpaid referral sites in terms of traffic and revenue. Why? According to Barnes, it’s thanks to “product photography and blog content that resonates with their audience.” ModCloth has approximately 7,000 pins tagged on Pinterest, and 99% of them are from advocates of the ModCloth brand and products, she adds.
