Those of us enthused about Pinterest know the site has one limitation. The pages we want to save must have an image to capture for our “pins.” But the tubes don’t always cooperate. Some pages don’t feature any images while images on other pages may have very little to do with why we want to bookmark them.
Now there’s a solution. A free tool called Pin A Quote makes it easy to highlight a portion of text, save it as an image, and upload it to Pinterest with the original URL. This, added to the wonderfully useful Bookmarklet tool which similarly captures images (and URLs) makes Pinterest even more convenient. Now that we can grab text as well as images, every site is fodder for our Pinterest obsessions. Join me there!
Thanks for sharing this! Just put “Pin a Quote” on my bookmarks bar!
