Anybody use it?

Yes.

No

Maybe.

Not only do I NOT use it but I try to discourage the wife from viewing it, hasn't worked yet

Ha!

No. I'm pretty sure no one uses it and is just a figment of your imagination.

That's fer sher, saw a truck load of fresh pallets this morning.

Guess what went through my head

I joined, saw no purpose to it and now receive spam from it on an ongoing basis.

Ok how do I use it, and is it worth it?

Worth it? It's a free site, and you use it, or not, as you like. I don't think its a huge time suck, but some get caught up in it.

I use it for clipping recipes, inspirational quotes, and other mostly visual things I want to have in one place (rather than run though a bunch of bookmarks or urls). I found it very helpful when I was doing my construction project last year, especially when shopping for lighting, sinks, and faucets. I could "pin" the photos and then have one place to compare what I was interested in. Also helpful if I'm in the grocery store needing recipe ingredients I didn't write down before I left. If I've pinned it, I can find it again, often more easily than if I have to re-search for the recipe.

What makes or breaks it is who you "follow" and what they pin, and whether you use it for things you find just on Pinterest or from other sites. There is lots of crap too, don't worry.

Try it, what do you have to lose?

Thanks Guin, I'll do just that.
