Pinterest pushes out new look with bigger pins

March 18, 2013 10:52 AM PDT

Pinterest today announced that it will begin to introduce the general population to a new look featuring bigger pins running on a faster foundation.

The redesign, which Pinterest first started testing in late January, amounts to a collection of visual and infrastructure enhancements that should push people to pop around from one pin to the next.

Pinterest is an inspirational social network for saving recipes, fashion finds, housewares, and other digital goods to collections called "boards." These "pins," as they're called, are the essence of the site's experience and provide people with a visual way to browse the Web, as curated by friends and celebrities.
