slo’s THURSDAY1/26 poll - Pinterest

[slo]

Do you have a Pinterest account?
If yes….How often do you visit Pinterest?
(multiple choice)



For Me…..I absolutely love Pinterest and I go on Pinterest every day.
For me it’s like a massive library - I use it to reference everything. I need new ideas for my flower pots - I go on Pinterest. I need recipes - I go on Pinterest. I need party ideas - I go on Pinterest. When I was diagnosed with my UC and needed info - I went on Pinterest. As some know from another thread I posted, my DH was just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, so Pinterest has been a great reference to help with meal planning.
If you don’t have a Pinterest account you may want to think about it - it really is great.

I love Pinterest - it’s addictive - so much information - I can be on there for Hours !!!

 

[CynBeth]

Have never been on and have no interest.

 

[Kitty 34]

I don't do Pinterest. I have a SIL who loves it and has made many cool things for parties she throws.

 

[LoveSpringsteen]

I’ve been on Pinterest and I have an account, but rarely use it. I have so many recipes saved on Facebook, but those are tricky to find by sorting through my saved files. I think Pinterest will help with that, so I should get back to it.

 

[Meriweather]

I've looked....not really interested.
Do not have an account and probably never will

 

[mikehn]

I have an entire recipe library there

 

[scbruno]

I don't have an account.

 

[Dan Murphy]

No account, no desire to have one.

Never had an account there and have no interest. I tried using it a few times for a recipe that looked interesting but the way things are organized/searched seemed clumsy to me. There are LOTS of other better recipe sites online which are far easier to use. I prefer using proven recipes from sites with pro chefs & test kitchens. Too many online recipes posted by home cooks seem to contain obvious errors, the instructions are vague or the person assumes information not included. Why waste your time/money making a defective recipe?

I have an account and probably don’t use it daily, but definitely weekly. I mostly use it for recipes, but also decorating, crafts, gardening, holidays etc.

I also love Pinterest.

 

[PollyannaMom]

I love Pinterest!!

I don't have a specific daily routine like I do with the DIS, but I definitely go on it most days.

 

[jalapeno_pretzel]

I browse most days. I use it mostly for recipes, travel planning, and sometimes home renovation type things. When the kids were younger I used it to find craft ideas.

 

[ronandannette]

I guess I don’t even understand Pinterest. I thought it was basically just a site where DIY’ers post pictures of their food, decor and craft inspirations.

 

[mamamary]

I have an account and am on it a few times a week. I like it for recipes. I don’t use it as much for decorating ideas as I used to.

When Pinterest was new, the format was a lot different and it was really fun to make boards and look at boards. It has changed a lot. Now I just go on there for ideas for specific projects. DD and I share boards, too -- like she will set up a board for decorating a room and have me look at the stuff on there to give feedback. That's a nice way to work together on projects with someone who might live far away.

 

[Moliphino]

I have one and I mostly pin pretty pictures of places I want to visit. I check it when I'm bored.

 

[georgina]

I use google search for all of the things mentioned in the OP. Find a recipe I like, I bookmark the page. Same for party ideas, same for health info. No interest in pinterest.

 

[AppleDumpling]

No, never used it.

 

[Mysterian]

I only go to Pinterest when something comes up in an image search. Memory's sketchy, but I think I had to login with my Google account just to get past Pinterest's annoying popup. That said, no I don't keep a Pinterest page.
If there's no "interest" in Pinterest, all that's left is "P".
