There is another site, Pinerly, that is invite merely too. Here is how it works:
Once you may have a invite that takes anyone to the page to begin, just enter a email into the top-right corner and hit the "Lets's Go" button. You will then be placed found on the waiting list and receive your obtain referral link. From there on, as a referrals commence opting-in, you receive accesses to more performance. For very first friend you receive a "Quick Peek", with 5 neighbors you will have gained the "Early Access" and with 10 neighbors you receive access to the benefit qualities. BE AWARE! opting-in from the same computer multiple instances will likely not count! I tried it and it doesn't work.
I'm not very certain whether Pinerly is truly a fighting or "sister" site, because whenever you hover over the "Pin it" button about Pinerly you will notice it says "Pin it about Pinterest" and then lauches the Pinterest pin box with all the text "through Pinerly - a Pinterest friendly dashboard ".
