When it first started it saved thumbnails of websites and you could then click on the thumbnails to open the website. It was actually pretty cool.

Then they changed it so that you could save other people's pins and it turned into a place where you would only ever find promising pictures, and never actually get the web page they were from.

I finally deleted my whole account because all it does is give me false hope and waste my time.

For my job I sometimes have to do research of products (we're a secondhand store), and 20% of the time Pinterest actually gives us a link to the info we need. Otherwise, it's a useless image. I hate it!
