Pinning has become the latest and greatest buzzword in social networking. The sudden rise of Pinterest sparked it, but others have used the “Pin” term as well. One of those who’ve recently jumped into the fray is Loveit, an social pinboard for sharing images and content.

Is Loveit a Pinterest clone?

That’s probably the first question that gets raised when talking about Loveit. In some respect they are very much like Pinterest. The interface is nearly identical, in fact it’s hard to tell the difference aside from some very minor cosmetic differences.

The real answer is no. Loveit is not a Pinterest clone, but it does do all the things Pinterest does along with some of their own.

Loveit vs. Pinterest

What’s different about Loveit?

The pin display is much tidier with less scrolling. Like Pinterest, Loveit enlarges a pin when it’s clicked and provides sharing options with a comments section and main frame for the pinned image itself. The difference is how they display it. Loveit uses a two column layout that shows the pin on the left with sharing options aligned underneath it while displaying collections and suggestions in the right side column.

Privacy

Private collections. Loveit categorizes pins into collections as opposed to boards, but what makes Loveit stand apart is the option to make collections private. With Pinterest, everything is public private boards are limited.

Trademark & Copyright

One of the other more notable differences involves trademark and copyright. Loveit appears to be more interested in protecting intellectual property than we’ve seen in the past from other pinning type sites.

Final Thoughts

Most who read this are undoubtedly Pinterest users already, seeking another way to share or searching for an alternative to the popular social pinning site. Loveit is a viable alternative with the same features under a different name along with some more visually appealing ways of interacting on the site.

Private collections are a huge plus for Loveit. That feature alone should influence users to give Loveit a try. With so much sharing it’s easy to get social overload with all the new websites that pop up, but Loveit makes it easy with easy importing of everything from Pinterest, Flickr and others.

Follow us on Loveit when you sign-up, that way you’re not alone when you get started! See you there!

For many of us, particularly younger generations, the web is the world. Almost everything we love can be found online. We communicate with friends and family, we share outrageous photos and funny videos, we shop and conduct business, even create art and music online. All of those things make our lives better in one way or another, but one pitfall of having all that knowledge and convenience at our fingertips is that we become complacent in our retention. Clipix successfully makes remembering all the internet’s wonders easier.

To make it simple, think of Clipix as an online bookmarking site. You store relevant websites, photos, videos and whatnot by using a Clip button. Similar in style to clicking a favorite button on your web browser, the Clip button saves your “clips” to your Clipix account. The great advantage of using the Clipix method is that all your clips are accessible on all devices without the inconvenience of importing and exporting. Clip something from your home PC and view it later on your tablet at work, it’s that simple.

Clipix is intended to save things from the web and does so well, but there’s another plus to this service. Unintentional organization. The best way to take advantage of Clipix is to organize clips into Clipboards. Clipboards make sorting gifts or travel deals timely. If someone has a birthday coming up, you can create a Clipboard of Mom’s Birthday Ideas 2012, making whatever you clip pertinent and up to date. There are many more ideas for Clipboards but you get the drift. In addition, Clips can be shared with others. So that ‘Mom’s Birthday’ Clipboard can now be viewed by all siblings.

Clipix seems to understand that not everyone wants to share everything they find online. That’s fantastic news! Clipix has the option of public or private so that if you want to use the service as your own personal bookmark saver, then so be it. While others who want to share, share, share can do so too. Clipix is very similar to Pinterest but with private Clipboards, which means that you’ll be starting from scratch if your intent is to move all your bookmarks into their service. If you’ve been searching for a way to make the transition from traditional bookmarking to cloud favorites, then Clipix is worth a look.
