Pinterest Testing Its New Secret Board Feature

Pinterest has recently announced that it is testing a new feature called: Secret Boards.

The Pinterest blog recent announced that this feature had been frequently requested since its launch last year.
As a result there will be a progressive roll-out that is being planned where anyone will
be able to create their own secret board.

This feature will have some obvious utility and benefits from the perspective of planning capabilities.
Essentially you can develop a concept, plan or project that isn't quite ready and keep it there until its
ready for the unveiling.

Perhaps your getting married, or opening a business or wanting to
show photos of a world trip you've recently returned from and so on.

As well there is the possibility that your secret board isn't so much a temporary "work bench' but
rather a permanent area that you'd like to reserve for a specific person or group on an ongoing basis
where you will be able to selectively invite those people to join you and pin with you.

As with all things on Pinterest, creating a secret board is a very simple process. Simply go to the bottom of
your profile and click on: Create a Secret Board. Alternatively you can also click the Add+
on the top right-hand corner of Pinterest to select Create Board and turn the Secret button to On.

Pinterest have also stated that this feature is also available for mobiles and tablets by downloading
the current version of Pinterest for both Apple and Android devices. I'm not sure sure but yet again
there was o mention of compatibility with Blackberry, so those of us with Blackberry Bold's may have missed out yet again.

Conceptually I like this feature and the fact that as you pin in these boards, nothing will show up anywhere else.

Following on from their history of simple, practical and ultimately practical features and functionality,
this is now another example of a site that continues to listen, learn and evolve.
Give Secret Boards a go and let us know your thoughts.

And until next time, good luck and good marketing.

Regards,
Daniele.
