As the home of inspiration, Pinterest is a place to discover not only great ideas but also the people behind them. That's why we're introducing Story Pins following streams, a place for Pinners to see new Story Pins from the creators they follow, right at the top of the home feed. In this immersive stream, Pinners can find fresh Story Pins and even find new creators to follow through the 'Discover creators' icon.
Following is the first step in connecting and engaging with creators on Pinterest. For Pinners, following means getting more original ideas from creators and building a more relevant recommendation system in their home feed. For creators, following means building an engaged audience united by the inspiration they provide.
Story Pins are different in all the ways Pinterest is different from other apps - the main value is discovering positive, inspirational and educational ideas, and not just for entertainment purposes. They're saveable, actionable and long-lasting so they can be discovered over time. From the following stream, Pinners can save ideas and visit a creator's profile to see even more ideas that might inspire their next project.
