Think of it as your own visual bookmark site...and you can look at other people's bookmarks, too, and save them for yourself if you like them, and they can save yours if they like them. Like is sort of the same thing, though it doesn't record more than you 'liked' something instead of saving it into your actual visual bookmarks.
If you pin something, it shows up on the main board for everyone to see, but leaves it in your own personal book so you can find it for future reference. (there may be a way to make your pins private, I haven't bothered to find out). If you can buddy up with folks and find out what they're pinning style-wise when you follow someone. Or you stick to the main board if you want to cruise them. Or..you just keep track of your own as you find stuff across the net and organize it like you like, visiting when you need visual inspiration.
I'm pretty sure Daily Digi probably did a 'tutorial' on it LOL
