PINTEREST is a visual social network tool that's proving very popular especially with creative types and shopaholics.
It's quite simple - just create a board on a particular theme and add some images that you like (the pin it button is useful for this). People can then comment and/or re-pin the images, making the whole thing very active and social. It's also a great way of discovering new stuff, either by following people or just searching the site.
There are possibilities for education and libraries here too ~ including as a way of recommending books, planning a teaching/reading space, bringing together historical images for a humanities class, collecting recipes for food tech or having a 'library' of Visual Thinking prompts (I see I think I wonder).
