The latest Internet rage is Pinterest, a way to collect and "pin" images in collections. Needlepoint.com has started a nice little collection here. As far as I know, this is the only shop participating but I've heard of cross stitch designers and fellow stitchers who are doing so. It's by invitation only right now, but the invites are there for the asking.

In the interest of full disclosure, you should know that a lot of folks object to Pinterest's changing links so that they make money off what you pin. I know about this thanks to Julie at Shop Sampler. Follow her links if you want to learn more.

Some users don't mind. Whether you do or don't, it would be nice if they disclosed this to users when they sign up.
UPDATE: Here's what Sharon Boggins has to say about Pinterest.
