A great place to collate and curate these images, which certainly belong to a company Pinterest account, but should be accessible only to those within the organisation.Ĭan you think of more? The dark side of secret boards

For example, for the eModeration company account, I've just added one for our company meet-ups. Great way to collaborate over an event - share images of venues, decor, costumes and so on. I've got to admit, I'm thinking of this mostly private use rather than for brands and businesses. Or perhaps this is the social media version of a Santa list? (Note the timing of this release. Maybe it's the board creator getting married? They have the chance also to share either a 'mood board' or a defined Wedding List. As a present list - kind of in tandem with the new Facebook 'I want' button.Collections of visual notes and links for projects you are working on.Great for brands who want to fully develop and test a showcase before unveiling it. Works in progress which you want to perfect before they're made public.What could 'Secret Boards' be used for? Some obvious uses:

You can see the 'secret boards' at the bottom of your list of boards on your profile: you invite contributors as you would a public board - and they can recommend the board creator to invite others - but contributors can only be approved or removed by the creator. When you add a pin to a secret board, it won't show up anywhere else on Pinterest-not in the category sections, Popular, Everything, anyone's search results, your followers' home feed, your own home feed, or even pins or activity pages on your profile.

By popular request, Pinterest has given accounts holders the ability to add up to three ' secret' boards at any one time.
