Nothing is private on the web. I can find posts and quilts from this board--or any other --just by googling.
How many times have I seen posts with links which will take you to another site. You don't know if, what you are opening is safe.
As long as you run a good security and virus program you should not have a problem.

I like Pinterest so far. I'm not sure the privacy issues are any more harmful than even your credit/debit card. My husband used his card at Joann one time and now he gets mail from them. He did not give them his address but they got it.

I really like Pinterest and use it for quilts and color inspiration. I dunno, I'm not too worried about the privacy thing, I mean, all they are really going to learn about me is that I'm terribly boring, all I do is go to quilting sites. LOL* Everyone has public info available about them somewhere, be it the phone book, or if you own property it's public record, or court records if you've married or divorced or been sued. LOL* All you have to do is click the wrong button and your email is full of junk mail. There are a lot of other sites collecting your personal info that are not nearly as forward about it and so I dunno, I think if it really bothers you don't join, but I really don't think there's anything to be that concerned over. In my opinon that is.

If I find something on another site I want to check out, I write it on the pad of paper that's in the desk drawer in my office.

I hear it is just as addicting as this forum.
OH and if you design your own quilts, do NOT post them there...that is considered publishing, so if it is a quilt for a challenge or a show it would be disqualified for entry into most shows/challenges and magazine submissions.
Also it puts it out there for the public to steal, so it would be hard for you to prove it was your design if you are planning to publish a pattern for it!
