      <title>Godinterest a New Christian Social Network Took the Idea Behind Pinterest and Gave It a Religious Makeover</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Godinterest.com allows members to upload and share photos from across the web with other users and create boards.</p><p>Dagenham, Essex -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 05/16/2014 --  Godinterest A New Christian Social Network Took The Idea Behind Pinterest And Gave It A Religious Makeover<br />
<br />
Godinterest.com allows members to upload and share photos from across the web with other users and create boards.<br />
<br />
For those who love the social media site Pinterest but want to share within a Christian environment Godinterest could be a safe family friendly Christian alternative. A new online photo-sharing platform which strives to have Christian content, the site has been developed by Dean Jones a devoted Christian.<br />
<br />
Jones, a 35-year-old Project Manager from London said, " The popular photo-sharing Web site Pinterest.com is known for allowing its users to post a wide range of content. However, we are mindful of the values that we as Christian&apos;s are bound by. Godinterest will enable our users to share within an Christian Social Network."<br />
<br />
However, should Christians use social media?<br />
Jones said, "In today&apos;s busy world, I believe that Christian ministries need to engage the public with social media and that there is added value in doing so. However, learning even the basics of social media can be a daunting task that&apos;s why like Pinterest, Godinterest was designed with the beginner in mind, this means that people can easily create an account that they can use to market and brand their business."<br />
<br />
Godinterest is presently being used for organizing ideas including Church events, travel planning, inspirational quotes, home decorating ideas, meal planning and advice, wedding or event planning, activities for children, or any combination of ideas one&apos;s heart desires.<br />
<br />
When asked what&apos;s special and about Godinterest Christian Social Network? Jones stated the following points: " <br />
<br />
- Share Button - "Following in the footsteps of Pinterest&apos;s Pin-It Button, The Godinterest share button makes it easy for users to collect the things they find on the web. After its installed, users just need to click &apos;Share on Godinterest&apos; whenever they see something they want to share."<br />
- Visual Imagery - "Imagine getting to do window-shopping of all the best and most creative things in the Christian world without having to go to the mall. Would you rather browse a beautiful shop or a list of items in a catalog? It is the use of visual imagery that sets Godinterest apart (in an important way) from traditional (text based) bookmarking sites."<br />
- Organised Sets – "Godinterest has a way to organise these single images into sets. This adds a layer of value (Christian quotes, books, music and so on) to an otherwise Godinteresting photo."<br />
- Self Expression - "Another innate human trait, there is a need to leave our mark on the world, to show how we see and experience God worlds. This shows up in how we decorate homes and trips we&apos;ve been on, restaurants we have enjoyed, putting our spin on another person&apos;s picture.Godinterest boards are a form of this self-expression, whether in the topics that interest users, or how they choose to fill a godinterest board to make it inspirational!"<br />
- Social Sharing - "Once we create something, we naturally want to share it with others. In this respect, I think Godinterest (just like Pinterest) lends itself better to social sharing far more than other services do. Think about how all the distasteful stuff that ends up in the news feed in other sites. But, contrast that with something created by someone else that you might find personally relevant, or at the very least simply amazing."<br />
- Simple User Interface – "Want to increase participation in something? Lower the bar on what&apos;s required."<br />
- Discovering New Sites - "Use Godinterest to discover more Christian sites and products."<br />
- Posts - "Unlike the posts on other sites, the posts on Godinterest have no expiry date."<br />
<br />
Godinterest could also offer both parents and teachers an easy, engaging way to share resources with other parents.<br />
<br />
Jones said, "Did you ever notice all of the bulletin boards and posters covering the walls of most classrooms? Teachers have been part of the bulletin board culture for ages. Godinterest gives teachers the ability to do the same thing in a virtual environment. Boards provide a virtual space for teachers to share activities, lesson plans, and ideas."<br />
<br />
Savvy Christian business owners could use this social media site to market their business.<br />
<br />
Jones said, "Godinterest Christian Social Network is a fun way to put all of your favorite Godinteresting in one spot, but be aware, it is very addictive! If you serve a congregation, educators or families, you could have a great friend and outreach tool in Godinterest. "<br />
<br />
Free registration includes access to all of the website&apos;s features, including sharing images with friends, following friends&apos; updates and creating boards.<br />

      <title>AskACatholic, Inspirational Apparel, Salem Storehouse, The Bible Museum and Other Christian Businesses Are Attracting Shoppers on Social Media Site Godinterest</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Dagenham, Essex -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 05/09/2014 --  Businesses both Christian and Non-Christian alike are using <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Godinterest" href="http://godinterest.com/">Godinterest</a>, a new Christian social media networking site that allows users to create collections of photos, articles, recipes, videos and other images that are called "posts" to draw business to their own websites.<br />
<br />
Christian Apparel, Books, Wedding Gifts, Tee-shirts, Ornaments, Devotionals, Bible Answers and Gospel music are just some of the items being displayed on Godinterest. <br />
<br />
The interest in Godinterest comes as both Christian and Non-Christian businesses are increasingly realising the power of niche Christian based social media sites to push customers their way. <br />
<br />
Recently, they have been found on sites like Pinterest that has understood that while users are spending more time posting photos online, they also can be encouraged to spend money.<br />
<br />
Founded in April 2014, Godinterest is a virtual scrapbook and a complete newbie in social media, but its niche of Christian focused community and interface (comparable to that of Pinterest) is what its founder believes will set it apart as a good marketing tool for Christian and non-Christian businesses with a focus on Christian products. <br />
<br />
Users can collect images they find around the web under topics and within boards they create. <br />
<br />
Dean Jones the founder of Godinterest say&apos;s , "I would urge retailers to sign up now as getting in early and building a following could be the key to success and more referrals later on."<br />
<br />
Using Godinterest is similar to a never ending page of photos: Posts are organised under topics called "boards" and users can follow each other posts.<br />
<br />
Jones states, "The unique thing about Godinterest from a retailer&apos;s perspective is it&apos;s specifically about Christian products, as opposed to all products. Godinterest offers a good opportunity to get your products in front of a Christian audience. As the platform grows the amount of people following you will grow as well which will mean that when you post new items, they are more likely to show up under top posts and within our automated email roundup. This will result in even more free referrals. We hope to be a service that Christians and non Christians use to inspire their future."<br />
<br />
"To celebrate our recent launch we will be giving away an iPad on the 5th July 2014. To enter the prize draw all you have to do is register free at Godinterest.com and invite a friend." <br />

      <title>Inspired by the Need for Wholesome Content Sharing, Godinterest Offers a Pinterest Alternative</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Dagenham, Essex -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 04/28/2014 --  For those Christians, entrepreneurs and ministries that use Pinterest but want to share within a Christian environment, Godinterest could be the answer to their dreams.<br />
<br />
Speculation is growing about the content the owners of Godinterest will and will not permit, but how does it actually differ from Pinterest?<br />
<br />
<a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Godinterest" href="http://Godinterest.com">Godinterest</a> was founded by Dean Jones, a Christian, to allow people to post within an environment that prohibits ill-mannered language and distasteful images.<br />
<br />
Jones, a 35-year-old Project Manager from London, said, "Pinterest is one of the leading social media sites; however, posts on Pinterest are not always guaranteed to be suitable for the whole family. We are mindful of the values that we as Christians are bound by and therefore Godinterest will help to provide an additional cushion of safety. I see this as a ministry and to that degree, non-Christians are most welcome; however, Christianity is not up for debate."<br />
<br />
Godinterest strives to have Christian content and like Pinterest, people can use Godinterest to collect and share photos of their favourite events, interests and hobbies.<br />
<br />
Jones said, "<a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Godinterest" href="http://godinterest.com/">Godinterest</a> acts as a bespoke Christian media platform, whereby users&apos; content and the content of others can be browsed on the main page. Its mission is to connect Christians through the interests they share. Users can upload images and embed videos to boards, which can be used to organise images they love from around the web or from their very own work.<br />
<br />
"Boards can also be used by educators to plan lessons and for later referral. Students can post and organise sources. Each user&apos;s boards are potential inspiration for the rest of the community and &apos;re-posting&apos; is highly encouraged."<br />
<br />
Godinterest also allows businesses to create pages aimed at promoting their businesses online.<br />
<br />
Jones said, "A friend of mine who happens to be an atheist recently asked me where he could purchase a Bible. I stated that Amazon or eBay might be a good starting place. However, wouldn&apos;t it be great if everybody could go to one location for everything Christian and find and create lists of what they wanted? There are millions of small businesses around the world; however, not all have a voice. Godinterest hopes to fill that gap by providing virtual store fronts."<br />
<br />
Accounts can be created and accessed by linking Godinterest to Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn profiles.<br />
<br />
For those who want to maintain their Christian values while still interacting with those on the Internet, Godinterest could be a great option. With comparable features to Pinterest offered in a platform that is marketed as being safe for the entire family, the environment offered on Godinterest could be just what the Christian community is searching for.<br />
<br />
Free registration includes access to all of the website&apos;s features.<br />

      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Godinterest.co.uk, the Christian response to Pinterest reveal's a community that couldn't be more different.</p><p>Dagenham, Essex -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 04/14/2014 --  For those who love the social media site Pinterest but want to share within a Christian environment Godinterest.co.uk could be a safe family friendly Christian alternative.  <br />

<br />
With many ways to interact with other Christians, whether current or new friends, Godinterest.co.uk offers a environment for users to enjoy features similar to Pinterest. Controversially, the only way to presently join Godinterest.co.uk is by using an existing Facebook or Twitter account.<br />
<br />
Jones said "We recognised the unfiltered and unmonitored content available on other sites and we wanted to provide an atmosphere where families can feel safer about their viewing choices," Godinterest.co.uk. offers that, we also know that both Facebook and Twitter already have a huge Christian base and  want to capitalise on this by making it easier for existing users of Facebook and Twitter to register on Godinterest.co.uk"<br />
