Pinterest is a social networking service where users post images they want to scrap and share them with other users; the name is a blend of "pin" and "interest". The service's most distinctive feature is that you can collect and manage image files in a way similar to pinning photos to an image board.
This kind of layout is called a Masonry layout.
