“Lobster tales christmas 23”

Jeffrey M.
3/7/24

Ordered lobster tails on pinterest Christmas 23. Never heard a damn thing. Money was taken 2 days after ordering from my bank account. Still to this day 3/7/24 haven't heard a goddamn thing and yes I am pissed. Pinterest seems to be a place where criminals can play their games. Pinterest needs to do alot better at policing their website. In my book pinterest sucks real bad!

His application is beneficial. It has all the things we want to search for it. We can save, download, share, chat. I do regularly use this for my crafting. With the help of this, I became more creative and gave more interest to doing new models. However, We can't download videos that we need but can only save, share them. When we search for something, we will have even the least appropriate. Due to this, the search will take some time.

I try to get on Pinterest at least once a day. I enjoy all the great ideas and people who share the same interests as me. Having said that, there are still a few bugs that bother me. There are times when I can't get into the program and it shuts down on me altogether. Overall though, I like this app, and it's free so what's to complain about?

Tip for consumers:
Pinterest is such a great web-site to look up so many different categories. No matter what your interest are, you'll be sure to find something of interest here

If you want to conduct your business by online exposure, this is a good place for that.
But you need to be careful since they are becoming more and more strict with regulations, etc

The service is quite fun to use and very convenient as I can store different materials in one place. However it has ads and some content stored by other users may be unsafe to minors - take care knowing that!

As a graphic designer I visit Pinterest a lot, there you can refill you creativity, the only reason I'm not giving this a five star is because the content spamming that the user do.

There needs to be some "administrative" work done on pinterest. All the bad language and name calling is miserable.

My notification light is always lit, showing me what people I don't even know have pinned. Yet my family and close friends... nothing. I takes me DAYS to find things they've sent me. Make it easier to find that! And give me the freedom to turn off notifications for certain people.

Pinterest is a great site to find pics that you can't find with the search engines. One downside i've noticed that I can't seem to get help with is the fact that I cannot log in to my account. I've tried typing my details manually, with no success, i've tried logging in with my google account with no success. But, even though i've deleted my facebook account, I think that I WOULD be able to log in with facebook, because just like wish.com, they want your personal details to sell you ads & other unwanted things...

Pinterest, I LOVE YOU,. I'm on you every day! Why did you take away the "Like" icon? I'm annoyed because there are things I want to just like and save to my own private area. Please bring it back. And why did you change PIN to Save? It's called Pinterest, not Saveterest... just saying.

Create a category and start pinning everything interesting that falls into it for you. Its just that simple. Save just a beatiful photo, or a great design you might use later when you got some spare money. The only thing you need an invite to join =/

I love using pinterest for my school projects and my works, especially as a designer student like I am. Well but sometimes it made me confusing, when I get used to pressing the button pin it then chooses the board, now they reverse it, which I find pretty annoying to me. I prefer the old way.

Joined about 10 months ago, I am a bit of a amateur photographer so this site is ideal for me, I have met lots of similar people and we have since shared contact details and photos of our work with each other. Lots of fake members but also lots of interesting members.its a good pass time searching for different pins

I absolutely love Pinterest but get very frustrated if I have to walk away from my phone and come back and it always reloads so I lose what I was looking forward to pinning previously. How do I stop this from happening. There should be an option to reload new pins or continue scrolling down the pins that are already loaded.

The fact that I have a Pinterest account at all should prove that I love it because I hate social media so much. I'm a 24 year-old with no facebook, no snapchat, no twitter, no instagram etc. I just have Pinterest. Usually I don't have a problem with Pinterest's new updates. They are supposed to make the site more navigable and user family. However with the past few updates that has not been the case. Let me start with the new inbox. You used to be able to send pins in messages to your friends with relative ease. That is no longer the case. Now you can pin the image from your inbox, you have to open the whole thing, and when you open the whole thing the message icon goes away so that to write a response you have to go all the way back to your inbox. Not to mention you can't just click out of the new pin that was sent to you and go back to the page you were just looking at. It's like opening up a whole new page, and it didn't used to be that way. It makes checking messages really inconvenient. Secondly they took away the slideshow button. I don't know why you would remove this feature. It was pretty handy if you were making an aesthetics themed board. Lastly, the suggested pins. I find this especially annoying because it had the potential to be a great feature, and at first it was. The problem with suggested pins is that they really need to improve the way they find pins to suggest for you because lately they get it so wrong. The suggested pins are supposed to be based on your recent Pinterest activity and now I believe they use your browser history as well, but some of the things Pinterest has suggested for me lately are so left field I seriously have no idea why they would be suggested for me. For instance, Pinterest has been under the impression for a really long time now that I am a huge One Direction fan. I have NEVER pinned anything One Direction! I seriously have no idea where this came from! Pinterest also keeps sending me hairstyling tutorials for black women which would be great if I were black, but I am not, I'm a plain old white person and these pins are irrelevant to me. I tried tailoring my suggested pins by liking certain pins so I wouldn't have to keep pinning the same thing but then they took away the like button. Then they started suggesting pins for me that were straight up offensive. This has been happening for several months, and for several months I click on the button of the suggested pin saying this isn't my style, it's irrelevant, etc. but that seems to do nothing because it continues to suggest pins for me that I don't like, sometimes it's pins that I have already said not to send me. As of yesterday it began suggesting pins to me that criticized my faith while simultaneously suggesting pins about my faith. My homepage is currently a blend of bible verses and posts about atheism. Where did this come from? It says "inspired by your recent activity," what recent activity? I went back and looked at my pins looking for anything that I might have posted pertaining to atheism, and there was nothing! There is nothing in my browser history to give any reason to these suggested pins. This is so left field, I seriously have no idea where it came from. Now let me be clear about one thing: If it were someone else's pin that's fine, that doesn't bother me, people can pin whatever they want, it's a free country, I don't care. What bothers me is that Pinterest suggested these pins for me! Based on what? There is nothing in my browser history or recent activity to suggested that I am into these pins. When I tried to say I wasn't interested in these pins they popped right back up on my feed. Finally I had to disable the suggested pins feature. I was disappointed because as I stated before this feature had the potential to be really useful instead it was annoying. I used to get on Pinterest and be really happy because it wasn't like social media, I didn't have to deal with a bunch of negativity and white noise, but with the malfunctioning suggested pins feature I'm left feeling frustrated and upset. Oh and the first time I disabled the feature it didn't work and continued to send me the suggested pins. Also I told this to my friend and she confessed that she was experiencing a similar problem with Pinterest suggesting irrelevant pins for her. Stop with the irrelevant pin suggestions!

Tip for consumers:
-Turn of the suggested pins or else Pinterest will send you completely irrelevant pins claiming that they're based on your recent activity when it has absolutely nothing to do with your recent activity. Weird example: if you absolutely loved the state of Maine or something and you pinned a bunch of stuff about loving Maine, Pinterest is going to suggest pins to you about hating the state of Maine and how it is the most awful place on the planet, that's how screwy the suggested pins are.

I like Pinterest because it's easy to organize stuff. However, I find the content being catered to females more especially the health and fitness. I think it's a great site and I enjoy being on it. I just wished there were more male views on the site.

This is such a great site--if you're a visual person, you'll love it.

What it does is allow you to collect ("pin"–via a cute "pin it" button placed neatly in your toolbar) everything you love on the web and organize it into categories ("boards"). You can cluster your favourite whatevers (art, photographs, clothes, recipes, interiors, quotes etc) on a pretty little page, which you can share with the rest of the Pinterest world (and whomever chooses to "follow" you), and, in turn, follow any other boards you like, and pick up new "pins" by "repinning."

It's super inspiring, perfect for planning, and it's also great for picking up helpful DIYS and recipes too.

Pinterest is a good way to express creativity and share with friends/strangers ideas or anything cool you may have seen. Although pinterest may seem a little silly or confusing at first, the website actually serves many good purposes. The website is open for viewing but in order to completely participate, one must be 'invited'. While getting invited may take a mere 24 hours, these 24 hours may deter ones interest in the website. Hence, this may be seen as a con. Also, new users may find themselves confused since pinterest is not user friendly and it takes some getting used to.

Ultimately, I think the website's main purpose is to help individuals share ideas and interests with one another, whether recipes, DIY crafts, or decorating. The various options helps this website remain successful and promote its popularity. Personally I use Pinterest, and although not very often, I would recommend it to a friend.
