Ok, now let me ask you a serious question. I've been wondering about this certain phenomenon for a while now, and I just can't figure it out. People love it. They say they even become addicted to it. They get ideas from it. And I just don't get what all the hype is about. Someone please enlighten me!!
Pinterest.
Why is there such a fuss about Pinterest?? I have an account. I've used it maaaaaybe twice in the 3 years since I've had it. And both times I was like, meh.
So, any of you out there who are hardcore Pinterest fans, please tell me why. I do not understand why Pinterest is different (or better than) Google. Why do I need them both? I can Google "cutesy Halloween decorations that will make my friends jealous" just as easily (or more easily) than I could search it on Pinterest. But then with Google I click the link and I'm there. With Pinterest I click the picture 5 billion times and still don't end up at the original website. I know I can pin certain pictures to different boards to organize them...but that seems like an online hoarding disaster waiting to happen.
I am obviously doing this incorrectly. There has to be SOMETHING cool about it if everyone and their mom is obsessed with Pinteresting. Pinteresting must be interesting. Somehow. Right?
I am eagerly awaiting your mind blowing insight. Thank you in advance.
Love,
The Pinterest Challenged

I tried to leave a comment on this from my phone earlier and it didn't work. Hello testing helloooo
I don't get it either. I abhor finding pinterest links in my google searches.
@Kristina--worked that time!
@Katie--I'm glad I'm not the only one! I just feel like I must be missing some secret part of it that makes everyone love it! haha.
Boo! My last post disappeared! Oh well. I actually go back to my organized post ideas, even if I have a whole hoarded section on desserts I'll never make. I always go back to art ideas for kids. It's also fun to see what my friends, who often have similar interests, are pinning. It makes me realize all the things I never knew I wanted to create;) I also like my searches being saved. And I like searching w/o inappropriate pictures popping up like Google often does.
Oh and it's helpful to stay in style when I see the cute clothes pictures my cute 20 something friends are posting.
@Tressa-- Thanks for the tips! I think I just need to familiarize myself with it. Right now it just seems overwhelming and like a glorified version of Google.
