Are you on Pinterest? I’ve been avoiding joining it for a long time now. That’s just what I need, another social media site to keep track of, but a few days ago I succumb to the pressure and attempted to join.
You can’t just join Pinterest, you need to be invited to join. So I went to the site and clicked the little button that said get an invitation. Then I was taken to a screen that let me know that I was on a waiting list to receive an invitation and that I will receive an email when space becomes available. What’s that supposed to mean? It’s a social media site not an actually room. I’m sure they can fit us all on the site so what is the waiting for? Stuff like that just makes me feel annoyed. I made sure I let everyone know how annoyed I was too. How dare they make me wait!!
A few days later I got my invitation to join and suddenly I forgot all about my annoyance. Now I’m on Pinterest. I don’t know how long this will last for me though. I tend to have a very short attention space when it comes to social media.

I joined a while ago. It was fun in the beginning but now I’m bored of it. I have done some receipes off of it though. It can be useful if you do what you pin.
I can’t believe they told you your on a waiting list. Are they doing background checks on everyone?

The worst thing about is that ANYONE slightly connected to you can follow you and you can’t stop them. So you get all these emails telling you that someone is following you.
I ended up cancelling my participation because I really don’t need everyone I ever emailed following me and seeing what I like.
