not a lot, repins are shared with your followers and only you can see what you've liked. I usually repin so I can file it easy

8:41PM Tue, August 23 2011

@DaydreamLily

ahh this is good. so likes could be away for me to bookmark privately

repin means it goes onto one of your boards, like means it won't, unless u repin!! enjoy the ride!

8:42PM Tue, August 23 2011

@FoxesShop New Zealand

not really as I can actually see your likes, they just aren't in a news feed =/ so far, pinterest has no privacy. Annoying.

8:44PM Tue, August 23 2011

@DaydreamLily

oh well that makes like kind of pointless. Think Ill just do repin

8:45PM Tue, August 23 2011

@FoxesShop New Zealand

pretty much! Haha, repinning is good. I love pinterest!

8:45PM Tue, August 23 2011

@FoxesShop New Zealand

I will start following you, but be warned, I'm picky, start pinning too much crap and I'll cut ya off =P

@DarjeelingDream California!

If you 'repin' it will be in one of your 'boards' + show up on your Pinterest pg. If you 'like' not on boards or profile pg.

Like is simply 'like'. When you repin an image, it permanently gets saved on one of your boards... Enoy.

@ursula_apples Australia

When you 'repin' something, it sticks it onto your board, but 'like' is like on facebook, where you 'like' something.

8:46PM Tue, August 23 2011

@DaydreamLily

hahaha ok. I dont even get what is going on right now!! Im just store pretty bedrooms. :)

8:48PM Tue, August 23 2011

@DaydreamLily

oh if I like, does it show up in your feed? or just on my page?

8:48PM Tue, August 23 2011

@FoxesShop New Zealand

just on your page, but I get an email to say that you have liked one of my pins, but you can also turn the emails off

#pinning101 hehe xx

8:49PM Tue, August 23 2011

@DaydreamLily

I will probably be over it by next week. haha. Although if they added a private board feature that would keep me interested!

8:52PM Tue, August 23 2011

@DaydreamLily

so I can store private crap that I dont want to clog everyones feed with!! and possible compile to a blog post later

@slowlanenotes South Australia

welcome to one of the most addicted things on the web... :) if you repin an item it is now part of one of your boards.

8:55PM Tue, August 23 2011

@FoxesShop New Zealand

yes, I agree! I'd also like to pin inspiration for projects without everyone getting a clue on it first. I don't think...

8:55PM Tue, August 23 2011

@FoxesShop New Zealand

people will mind you clogging up their feed! If people get sick of you, they just unfollow ;)

8:56PM Tue, August 23 2011

@slowlanenotes South Australia

(cont.) If you 'like' it you can view it under your profile page (and it is not beling to any specific board)

8:56PM Tue, August 23 2011

@DaydreamLily

Im going to email and ask for private, hopefully if enough people request they might add the feature.

8:58PM Tue, August 23 2011

@DaydreamLily

I can see this being very time consuming and addictive. But Im going to try it out.

8:59PM Tue, August 23 2011

@Blackcurrantpix Perth, Australia

Repin adds to one of your boards of a specific theme, like is for misc cool stuff that you're not 'collecting'.

8:59PM Tue, August 23 2011

@slowlanenotes South Australia

I meant it in a good way. I can't think now of not using it! It's one of the most inspiring visual tools for me. Enjoy!

@teewhy

if you repin, it ends upon one of your boards. "like" is just like facebook or tumblr likes, or twittter stars

9:11PM Tue, August 23 2011

@DaydreamLily

love your 'Home' board. We have the same taste!

9:15PM Tue, August 23 2011

@chidesigns Brisbane, Australia

if you work out Pinterest let me know. Seems a bit confusing!

9:15PM Tue, August 23 2011

@hayleyyyyyyyyyy

repin actually puts it on your page/one of your boards, like just well- likes it

9:38PM Tue, August 23 2011

@hayleyyyyyyyyyy

aka repin is to share it, like is to keep it for yourself

9:39PM Tue, August 23 2011

@FoxesShop New Zealand

yes do! I'll do that too. Yes, we do have similar taste actually, haha, hard to find others with such good taste ;)

"Liking" an item simply means you've marked it off as something of interest (although, as others mentioned; it's NOT private.) You might choose to "like" something as opposed to "re-pin" because it doesn't quite fit the style or theme of any of your boards, but you don't want to lose it in the mix.
