You don't "make" a Pinterest.
You do have to have an account. You do not put personal pictures and stuff up. You would have to look at it.
Basically you make what is called boards and you "pin" stuff to it. It is hard to understand until you look at it.
It is basically like saving a link to a web page, picture, site, or whatever in your own little area. And you can find it again. It has a lot of craft stuff that I like. Also has a lot of funny or cute pictures.
I do not know what tumblr is so I can't compare.
You can comment on pictures or links also. I didn't understand til I looked at it. My cousin kept on me til I finally looked at it. I really like it myself.
Check it out.
And it is not like Facebook at all. And...people can "follow" you which basically means they see what you pin and you cannot stop them. I have people following me that I do not know who are. But it doesn't matter because they cannot get personal info about you because you do not put personal info out there other than your name.

Personally I think Tumblr is awesome. I do like Pinterest as well. I like them for their quick exposure of posts or pins.

It's basically a bulletin board where people post ideas and interesting information on a wide range of topics that everyone can see and share. I have one and I love it.
