Do you use Pinterest to find products for your projects?

nlarson

Pinterest, a social sharing pin board, has recently become very popular in the past year or so.  I use it all the time for browsing interesting ideas in cooking, crafts, and other miscellaneous curiosities.  I started wondering how Pinterest might be applied to electronics development?  How could/does Pinterest help you do your job better, faster, easier?  Do any of you currently use it for helping find inspiration for future design ideas?

 

Look forward to hearing your feedback! image

    One thing I found when starting with Pinterest is how few electronics companies - Farnell included - provide anything "pinnable" on their pages!

     

    The best I could find for my "Suppliers" board was a picture of the Farnell catalogue:
