I hate pinterest now

[pixy0stix]

YES, I SAID IT!

All these stupid companies want people to use pinterest as their marketing tool now, so they have contests saying "pin this and you'll be entered!"

No. I won't.

[lurkergirl123]

Agreed. It's so annoying!

I hate it.

I hate when my favorite things get popular and then are ruined by the masses.

I'm such a snob.

I hate when I hold out only to give in when it starts to suck.

[heyjude]

I've always thought it was dumb.

Yessssss. Pinterest is the worst. I'm glad people are coming around.

I started out hating it. Then I saw the potential. Then I started finding a shitton of awesome recipes. Then I started finding the same recipes over and over. Then I started seeing loads of spam. Then I stopped visiting the site.

This all happened over the course of about 8 weeks.

Pinterest is only as good as the people you are following on it.

There is another program called clipix or clipit that is supposed to do the same thing.

I've never really used it to find anything. I use it to stash the things I find on blogs. Like penny, I used it a lot as a recipe box. I also made some fun boards of fugly maternity clothes I found while shopping online.

Your maternity clothes board is hysterical, BTW. I was crying!

I have a pretty bunch of people that I follow, so that is fun. I haven't seen as much spam and porn as some folks have.

Thanks. I've had a lot of fun putting it together. The vast majority of maternity clothes suck--I had a lot to work with.

I've never been to the site and it sounds like I'm not missing much.

I still like Pinterest but I'm getting really annoyed by all the spam (where someone pins something that looks cool but you click it and it takes you to a spam site).

Pinterest could kick ass but their usability sucks and they don't really have many options to make it customizable. Also, if you are not a teacher, it's really freaking annoying b/c all of your teacher friends will fill your screen w/ teacher shit.

You can unfollow specific boards to prevent this.
