Pinterest and Scoop.it
Pinterest and Scoop.it are bookmarking tools. When we like something online and we want to save it, we usually bookmark it on our computer, email it to ourself or print it out. Now, Pinterest allow you to "pin" anything you want on your account and return to it anytime you need. Pinterest records pages with images, however, it cannot be found if there is no image. Even though there is this drawback, Pinterest is a useful tool in which you are able to pin many images and videos and return to them any time you need. If you want to set up an account click here and follow the steps.
Scoop.it is similar to Pinterest in many features such as sharing, re-pinning/re-scooping and commenting. Nonetheless, text snippets can be seen on Scoop.it but not on Pinterest as only images can be included. Scoop.it helps you to reach what is more preferable to you and create your own store.
These two tools are quite straightforward to use, it depends on the user's choice which one to employ.
