I love Pinterest! I use it to keep track of quilts, recipes, books I'd like to read, projects I'd like to try, etc. I find it's a great alternative to printing things out on paper.
|
Hmmm...I will have to check it out.
|
I am not a facebook user, and I don't really feel a need to share all the websites I visit with everyone. I don't need a site that is used for data mining to do this. I bookmark things on my favorites list on my computer. That does everything this site does with the exception of sharing it with anyone who wants to look at it. 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'm pretty sure that this site (quilting boards) is used for data mining. Just saying.
But if social networking and sharing is not for you, meemersmom, and what you've got going on right now works for you, it sounds like you're set. RST |
Love it :thumbup: :thumbup:

The cookies have caused no problems for our computer system, and we've not had any firewall issues. I do know some people who have made their boards entirely annonymous (switch to using a pseudonym after sign up) but since the whole point is to share your boards and likes with people you know, as well as meet and connect with people who have similar interests and tastes -- well, why would you? Unless you're the one who's guilty of inflicting the ridiculous "Keep Calm and __ " posters on the interwebs ; ) I think it's a great boon for quilters. I wanted to make a quilt for a friend, but I don't have strong sense of her color preferences or style. But after looking through her Pinterest Boards, I have a very good idea of what she likes and can make something that will coordinate perfectly with her new bedroom colors. Just one example. RST |
If they are data mining, they're not getting a lot from me - I only have a user name and a generic email entered, nothing else. You DO have the ability to have your account hidden from searches (i.e. if someone searches for "quilts", any that you have in your account will not be shown), and your email and personal info is never shown publicly.
It is similar to bookmarks on your computer, except Pinterest is visual, which is better for me. |
I hadn't read the privacy policy yet,
and I agree with you, no thank you
