# Favery makes pinning more productive

Yes, [I’m on Pinterest](http://pinterest.com/turoczy/ "Turoczy on Pinterest"). Yes, I’m comfortable with that. I do it for research and stuff. Or something. And as part of that research, I notice some interesting trends and behaviors. I mean, besides [tons of awesome Star Wars stuff](http://pinterest.com/turoczy/star-wars/ "Turoczy's Star Wars board on Pinterest").

Allow me to explain.

As I’m perusing any number of pins, I find people gathering sets of things they want. Haircuts they might get. Boots they might buy. Clothes they might wear. Food they might want to make.

It’s a great repository. But where is the decision? Apart from likes and repins, there’s really no way to make a decision about what to do with all this stuff we’ve collected. Which really just makes us candidates for the next episode of Hoarders. I mean, if I watched that show.

Ahem.

So what if you could use Pinterest-like functionality to get your friends to help you decide? Enter [Favery](http://www.favery.com/ "Favery"), an [Upstart Labs](http://www.upstartlabs.com/ "Upstart Labs") alum that does exactly that.

> Favery is the place to gather ideas and get advice from friends to help make life and style decisions – from fashion to decorating, entertaining to beauty and everything in between.

> You can easily post ideas on visual bulletin boards and get feedback, suggestions and opinions through polls and other discussion options. Favery enables you to create a dialogue around the details of an event or activity with those whose style you love and trust.

It’s like pinning with a purpose.
