Inspired by the Need for Wholesome Content Sharing, Godinterest Offers
a Pinterest Alternative
LONDON, April 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- For those Christians,
entrepreneurs and ministries that use Pinterest but want to share
within a Christian environment, Godinterest could be the answer to
your dreams.

Speculation is growing about the content the owners of Godinterest
will and will not permit, but how does it actually differ from
Pinterest?
Godinterest was founded by Dean Jones, a Christian, to allow people to
post within an environment that prohibits ill-mannered language and
distasteful images.
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."
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.
Jones said, "Godinterest acts as a bespoke Christian media platform,
whereby users' 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.
"Boards can also be used by educators to plan lessons and for later
referral. Students can post and organise sources. Each user's boards
are potential inspiration for the rest of the community and
're-posting' is highly encouraged."
Godinterest also allows businesses to create pages aimed at promoting
their businesses online .
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'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."
Accounts can be created and accessed by linking Godinterest
to Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn profiles.
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.
Free registration includes access to all of the website's features.
