Pinterest launches new look for content-sharing social network

PanARMENIAN.Net - Following a trial in January, Pinterest has launched a new look for its content-sharing social network, which it says should start rolling out to users via an invite “soon”, The Next Web reports.

The first noticeable change is to the close-up view of pins. Now, when a user looks at a webpage for a specific photo or web clipping, they’ll be able to see other pins from the same board on the right-hand side. It uses the exact same mosaic-esque layout used on the home screen and individual boards, further extending Pinterest’s design ethos across the website.

At the very bottom of the screen is arguably the most significant design change though. Pinterest now shows a board, covering the entire width of the webpage, that displays pins posted by other users who also pinned this content.

Pinterest says it will be updating its Android and iOS apps “soon” to include “People who pinned this also pinned” content.

The social network has been working hard elsewhere too. The end result is a simpler and cleaner experience marked by subtle changes such as slightly bigger pins, TNW says.
