5 things I love about Pinterest

5 things I love about Pinterest


Pinterest is a social bookmarking site where users collect and share photos of their favourite events, interests and hobbies. Have you ever wanted to make a collection of the things you love, and be able to access them at any time? Ever wanted to be introduced to a new life style? Learn a new recipe? Look no further, some geniuses have put together this amazing social networking app that allows you to collect and organize things that you love…amazing right.


You’re probably thinking, “Hmmm…. Tell me more”. I’ve made a list of 5 things I love about Pinterest.  Take a read, and then you will know why I’m hooked.




  1. First of all I feel Pinterest is a way for me to collect beautiful things, women have an instinctive desire to build and nest.  Every day I go on Pinterest there is something new, something I’ve never seen, something I’d love to have.


  2. By surrounding yourself with beautiful things, you start to feel beautiful within yourself; Pinterest is filled with beautiful things. I certainly feel beautiful when I’m on Pinterest.


  3. Organization, that’s a big thing people struggle with, Pinterest, helps you with that by creating different boards, that way the things you love have a place of their own.


  4. Pinterest introduces you to a new lifestyle, if you’re good at socializing you could interact with people on Pinterest, and learn new things such as recipes, fashion sense, gardening, health and beauty.


  5. Pinterest is so simple and easy, I also love the design, elegant I would say.Pinterest


So those are my 5 things I love about Pinterest, You should join it too and share the experience. If you just love fashion, art, or maybe you love cooking, well there’s a whole world for you there.  You’ll be hooked in no time, you’ll see.


Pinterest allows users to curate collections of images from across the web under different “boards” or categories. If a photo strikes a user’s fancy, they can repin it - Pinterest lingo for posting it - to their own board with a few clicks.

Google Translate adds more African languages

Google Translate adds more African languages


We all know translators have always been helpful, think about it. Remember your school days? Trying to do your French homework and you just don’t get it, and then you remember the almighty Google translator.


If you speak any of the following languages such as Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, Somalia and Zulu —you guessed it right —- Yes! PING! Magazine’s got great news for you. Google translator will soon be at your service for those of you that struggle with your native language and for those who want to learn these languages.


This is great news for tourists, business people, and people that generally have an interest in languages. For businessmen and women travelling to Nigeria, Somalia or South Africa for any reason, now is the time to seal the business with this new addition to the world of Google translation.


So to seal the smile on many of your face, take a look at what we found on google Africa’s Google +page


https://plus.google.com/u/0/+GoogleAfrica/posts/F7U4zxy3Fwt


It says “Hello Africa, we need your help with evaluating translation quality for some of our ‘promising’ African languages,”


Google-Africa-Translate2


Awesome stuff Google (J)


I’m pretty sure you are thinking “Great!” “So what’s next?” Well now they are looking for volunteers (that’s if you speak any of the languages) to rate the accuracy of their current machine translation.


However if do you wish to volunteer or get involved visit the page, it directs you to another page where you are asked to rate an existing translation from English to the language concerned on a scale ranging from “poor” to “ excellent”.


 


Google Translate adds more African languages


We think this will benefit a lot people out there. Most people often say “I wish Google could translate my language”. We guess Google has finally granted that wish. Now all you need to do is help them get it right and you’re all done. (J)
