TweetWelcome to another Friday Pinterest Quick Tip! Have you ever found yourself perusing through Pinterest when you come across the most perfect pin and the link is broken, or it takes you somewhere useless? Maybe it was the perfect gift for a loved one or the most delicious food you’ve ever seen. There are a couple of ways that might help solve that problem.

Select Images from the top menu bar of Google Step 2. Hover over the pin, click and drag the image to the search box in the Google window. After you drop the image in the box, Google will provide a search results list. You might find some of the links take you back to other Pinterest pins but if you give them a try, those pins might take you where you need. Sometimes, it takes some digging through the search results to find what you’re looking for, but geting to the shop with the perfect gift or finding the recipe for that scrumptious dish will be well worth it.

Pinterest Ideas for Giving
TweetWith Black Friday now starting on Thanksgiving and getting hundreds of emails asking you to take advantage of their Holiday Specials, it’s easy to get caught up and lose sight of how special the winter holidays are. With a little help from my friends and Pinterest I found some ways that we can get back to the heart of the holidays. Every Wednesday, Kelly Liberman hosts a chat on Twitter called #PinChat.

Here are a few ways to use Pinterest to find causes or organizations to support. **Update** It was fellow PinChatter Cedar Brown who had this awesome idea. You should follow him on Twitter @CedarBrown to see what other awesome ideas he comes up with. The best place to start is the search box in the tool bar at the top. Here are a few search terms to try: non-profits charity causes awareness When searching, be sure to check out boards as well as pins. Sometimes, user’s boards can lead you to more options. I found several pins for large organizations like the Salvation Army, the American Red Cross and the ASCPA but, the search also led to some lesser known organizations like Bright Blessings. One of the many great things Bright Blessings does is bring birthday parties to homeless children. Source:
