Here is an article from hacked education on Learnist, which appears to be a Pinterest type site with a definite educational bent. Since I am currently waiting for an invitation, I can't evaluate this site yet, but I do have a wish list based upon my experience with Pinterest.
I like that it allows connections of information/media to form lessons, and the ability to check off things learned. A couple of items that I would love to see (again having no idea of what it actually does offer yet) is some sort of assessment that allows for branching outcomes based on the results of the previous learning. It would also be great to have some sort of API for creating custom assessment.
I'm very much looking forward to giving it a test drive. Hope the invite comes soon.
