​Thanks to social media, our cool sightings, funny lines, lunch habits, dog's yawns, and daily outfit inspirations are broadcast to our social network (and beyond). And for better or worse, these outlets have become easier to sign up for ... and get sucked into on an hourly basis. 

Here's a quick guide for the moment that happens right after you take a picture with your phone or come up with a witty remark, and then have to ask yourself: Where the fuck do I post this?

And just in case you need a little rundown of a few of the social media tools in the flowchart above, they're explained here (in 10 words or less):

​Friends, creatives, crafty types, and internet obsessed -- meet Pinterest, the prettiest time suck you'll ever see. 

No need to worry about small talk, Pinterest will cut to the chase. It already knows all your friends from all your networks and is wide open to anything you'd like to pin on its boards (just don't get any ideas). 

Simply put, Pinterest is the brainchild of a team from Palo Alto, California. It's an endless place to store, pin, and refer back to things you find while down the rabbit hole of the Internet and your friends' pin boards. Pinterest is an inspiration wall on crack, a bulletin board with no borders, and a supply of visual stimuli that'll take you a lifetime (quite literally) to get through.
