Pinterest does not require an invitation to get an account. New Pinterest users used to have to ask for an invitaion and wait for a response, but not anymore. The first step in how to make a pinboard is to go to Pinterest.com at http://pinterest.com/

You can join Pinterst by connecting your Facebook account, your Twitter account or by connecting directly to your email. I recommend connecting directly with your email in case you ever decide to deactivate either your Facebook or Twitter account.
