Pinterest has historically been more an idea board \u2013 a place to dream about ideas you\u00a0want to try or products you\u00a0want to buy. Today, however, the company is rolling out a new feature aimed at encouraging people to track and share the things they\u2019ve actually done, too. With a new \u201ctried it\u201d checkmark on Pins, Pinterest users can share the ideas they\u2019ve tried and would recommend to others. The service\u00a0will also allow you to track the Pins others have tried in a new feed.<\/p>\n

The company says the feature will make it easier for people to find tips about\u00a0things like\u00a0recipes and\u00a0vacation spots, or learn shortcuts for accomplishing projects, for example.<\/p>\n

It could also help to surface post-purchase product reviews \u2013 something that\u2019s important to Pinterest as it has been attempting to move into a more actionable space over the years. For some time, the\u00a0company\u00a0has been offering Buyable Pins <\/a>\u2013 those that, when clicked, lead to product pages on e-commerce sites.<\/p>\n

But not all Pinterest users will end up buying products via the site. After all, Pinterest still serves more to inspire future purchases, rather than trigger instant gratification. Without being able to point to its ability to significantly increase\u00a0conversions on shopping sites, advertisers have been hesitant<\/a> to\u00a0shift more of their budgets over to Pinterest.<\/p>\n

With \u201ctried it\u201d tied to products and other items across Pinterest, though, the company could have a better means of tracking Pins throughout the shopping cycle \u2013 from dreaming to doing, so to speak \u2013 outside of direct conversions from Buyable Pins.<\/p>\n

Using the new \u201ctried it\u201d checkmark is as simple as clicking the checkmark above\u00a0the Pin.<\/p>\n

Pinterest also prompts you to offer feedback by asking \u201cHow\u2019d it go?\u201d You can then click on a happy-faced \u201cLove It\u201d button or a sad-faced \u201cNot for Me,\u201d as well as optionally write in your own note or tip.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, you can surface those others have tried in a new activity feed, which also displays the percentage of Pinners\u00a0who\u00a0would recommend the Pin, based on the happy\/sad feedback collected. This feed will point you to things like recipes that people have actually cooked, items they\u2019ve bought, projects they\u2019ve attempted, places they\u2019ve visited, and more.<\/p>\n

Depending on region, the types Pins in this feed may vary. For example, those in the U.S. try more food and drink, fashion and DIY ideas, while U.K. users try more home d\u00e9cor, fashion and beauty ideas, the company found during early tests.<\/p>\n

Pinterest says the new feature is rolling out this week to iOS and Android and will arrive on the web in the weeks ahead.<\/p>\n
