Many fashion magazines are on Pinterest, giving you the opportunity to get inspiration from the latest fashions around the world. They bring images you might not see elsewhere as well.

Brides are also flocking to Pinterest for the latest inspiration for their wedding. There are many websites that provide images and inspiration. But Pinterest offer inspiration for DIY, ideas for invitations, ceremony decorations and so much more. Many pictures you would not find elsewhere, or is hard to find.

The only downfall of Pinterest is that you have to be invited to use it. Also you can not view any images if you are not in Pinterest. This makes it safer for those who do have a Piterest. However, this is another downfall when you need some inspiration.

1) Post a Fan Centered Status. This means posting a question as a stauts. For example, “What did you think of the Betsy Johnson Fall 2012 Collection during New York Fashion Week?” This will engage people to react and discuss with others. Also encourage people to post photos on your page. For example, ask people to post pictures of their Christmas outfit or party outfit. This will inspire others and likely want to further engage.

2) Create action based incentives. For example, if your page is about your business that sells jewelery offer an incentive such as if you like this page receive 15% off your order! This will make people like your page and engage with others on the page.

3) Enable sharing! This is very important. If you enable sharing people can share your posts. Then other people can find you, like your page and then share again with others.

So there you have it. Ways to increase fan engagement on Facebook. It is vital to take steps to engage conversation or what have you or otherwise your page will just sit there. And we don’t want that!

Jerry Thompson, co-founder and CTO of One Share.es  stated, “There’s a lot of trust placed with people with whom we share private information. Over time, this information is collected in people’s inboxes and with the amount of free space offered by Gmail and other services, there’s little reason or incentive to actually delete these emails.”

So how does it work? When you enter the data it is encrypted from your browser to One Share.es servers and stored encrypted. You then get a private URL that holds the content. That URL is sent to the recipient. Once the recipient reviews the information and closes it out it permanently deletes. It can no longer be retrieved or viewed once they close out.

Is this really safe, as really nothing is ever deleted from the computer right? This is true but it is permanently deleted from the recipient’s email. So sending personal information will forever be deleted and never viewed again. The only problem is that the recipient will need to write down the information on a piece of paper or keep the information on their computer if they want to keep the information. This can be a disadvantage.

As a reminder never send your credit card, social security card over the internet, even if a service like this claims to be secure. You never know!

Kandarp Dave, Founder of Commentto included, “I started commentto, because I was really bothered that I always had to comment at the end of, say, a news article. That’s not really a conversation. If we want to bring real-world conversations online, we have to provide users a way to comment anywhere.”

What is also great about commentto is that you when you highlight or comment on a website, only you can view those comments or highlights. Very convenient for others! Also commentto would be great for people researching information online. It can help them finish that article or essay they need to finish.

When Moda receives the clothes from the designers they send them to the customers. Also, this website was invite only. Now it is open to everyone.

According to owner Magnusdottier, “When we first launched the business, it was the first time designers were showing their latest collections right away with a lot of detail shots. It gave designers comfort in the beginning to know that their latest collections were only being displayed to a limited group of people that actually love fashion” (Mashable).

However Moda Operandi will still sell the items at a…hefty price. Few items are under $800 and most orders will cost about $1,400. That can seem overwelming to few but well worth the investment, especially if you buy a timeless piece.

Viral trend is another website that you can post your daily looks on. Share your unique sense of style with others around the world. What is different from other fashion websites such as Chictopia and Lookbook.nu is that you can create shopping lists and create favorites from online stores. You can’t do that with those other websites.

It shows off your unique sense of style. It also shows items you would maybe never purchase because it’s either too expensive or unattainable. It also gives other users tons of inspiration.

Mikael Bernstein, founder of Verbling indicated, “It’s very difficult to find native speakers without going abroad. With Verbling, you can do that instantaneously. You don’t have to schedule or waste any time trying to find someone” (Mashable).

To start Verbling sets you up automatically with someone. The video chat lets users know when to speak one language and then switch to another language. Each language is spoken for five minutes, so both participants get plenty of practice. After the converstation ends you can click, super like, like and dislike. So Verbling can determine who to match you up with next time.

And don’t worry if you are a beginner you can indicate that to Verbling so it doesn’t match you up with someone who speaks the language really fast, etc.

This is great for those looking to go on a trip to Europe or Mexico and need a language boost. Also, this is good practice for those who are in a language class in High School or College.

The online dating website began because of the unsatisfied of the current online dating website services. Alex Furmansky, founder of Sparkology included, “The problem is the current mass market [for dating sites] is amplifying the bar scene. I believe there has to be a better approach to dating where the guy with the wine and flowers wins” (Mashable).

What makes this site luxurious is that Furmansky hands out personal invites seal with a wax stamp to educated singles he approves of. There is even sessions on how to teach men about courtship, manners and how to be classy. There is even classes on how to dress well and learn about fine scotch.

Right now Sparkology has 1,200 members and only is in New York. However, the site plans to expand to San Francisco, Boston, Washington DC, and Chicago in the future. They are also planning to let gays and lesbians join the site in the future as the site grows.

The online dating site is free but guys pay $2 per spark, and girls only pay $15 a month and can send unlimited messages. So why the difference in prices among men and women? Because then men can’t send spam therefore less messages and girls will respond to them if they wish.

So is this a good online dating website? How can an educated person be better than the average Joe? Many studies have shown that people who have a college degree are less likely to divorce and more likely to make longer commitments. Regardless, it will make you feel a little safer knowing who is messaging you rather than some guy in some state out west (that has no profile picture).

Are you a college graduate and would you join Sparkology?
