Issue: Pin feeds are showing old pins

Enid Hwang
posted this on Apr 18 10:10
Currently our servers are backed-up so old pins are being recycled in feeds such as your "Pinners I Follow" feed, the "Popular" section, etc. The new pins you add are still being saved to your boards correctly but they may not show up immediately in your feeds.

We're working on this issue now so new pins will populate normally soon - sorry for the trouble!
OK, so hopefully this means it's really going to stop doing that soon.

Nah, I left the pin up. It was a joke because now (at that time) I was getting hardcore 502 errors and I was making the joke that I took down all of Pinterest. Geddit?!

I repinned a PIN with the following link in the description Get the Dough Out!

You get this message when you click on it

Sorry!

Users have reported that this links to spam or other inappropriate content. Show me anyway.
Back to Pinterest
So Pinterest is not checking the reports at all, allowing users with an agenda to try to stifle political speech. I sent Pinterest an email stating this makes them seem complicit and they should verify spam reports before posting that warning.

BTW we made Unicorn Poop cookies. I didn't want to buy the expensive glitters and such so I just used brightly colored sugar that I already had and a simple glaze. They were cute

I wonder if others disconnected their Pinterest from their Facebook as I did.

I disconnected mine mostly because I didn't like how it was clogging my FB timeline and I worried that non-pinning folks didn't want to see all that stuff clogging their feed. I know I didn't so I disabled pinterest on my FB too as an app. Because it is stupid to see what my friends are pinning in both places. Add repin dupes and it was getting ridiculous.

So I imagine many folks are most likely doing that too.

I think the commenter that pointed out their spam busting that happened around that date was onto something. Also the layout change may have driven off some folks. I do think some folks joined just to see what the hype was about, but then wandered away. I had several friends who did that. Interestingly, one just came back this week and has been pinning like a fiend. Also, many companies started boards during that period, but then haven't really interacted much with the community. If they think just having some pins sit there is going to help them, they are missing the point.

The main thing that pinterest has going for it is the time users spend on it, which is much longer and more frequent than other similar sites, as well as the purchasing power of the key demos, which is braggable.

Yeah some acupuncturist who is into self promotion started trying to get people to pin themselves on Pinterest. I can see wanting to market yourself, but I don't think of that as a great way to do it. It's not like health care is an impulse buy, right?

I saw this image on Pinterest, and the link went to some unrelated blog or some shit, and I can't find it with Tin Eye. I want to know who took it (or created it) or whatever. How do I find it?

That's a challenging task. I did a Google Image search and the picture is all over the place without attribution. I've been through this with smilies before; finding the originator might be impossible.

YES. I automatically knew the answer all along, but I just didn't have any motivation to tell about it until I could use it to demonstrate my superiority over you.

Somebody really needs to paint little pictures of Mason jars on their fingernails, or paint inspirational quotes onto Mason jars with nail polish. Or something.

Oh, gross.

1 can creamed corn, 1 can sweet corn, 1 stick light margarine, 1 cup elbow macaroni, 1 cup velveeta. Don't drain any cans. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cook in crockpot until noodles are done. AMAZING!!
I actually look at the main page for not-taunting reasons, just to look at pictures sometimes and see if anything is interesting, and for serious, I fucking love mason jars and nailpolish.

But OMG. Some of the horrors you see perpetrated up on there some times.

AMAZING? Really? There is no flavor in there that I would label as AMAZING. But, you know, the bland flavor aside, that's just too damn yellow. Put in a tomato or a bell pepper something to give it some visual appeal. Or maybe some sliced hot dogs! ANYTHING.

Yeah, the more I look at it, the more I realize it's got to be some brilliant trollery. So many disgusting things in such a brief little recipe. Canned corn. Canned CREAMED corn. Dietetic margarine. Velveeta. No spices. No colors. COOKING NOODLES IN A CROCKPOT.

Also, this is the picture it's pinned with:



via this URL:

Image Detail for - http://www.southernplate.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/baked-macaroni-and-cheese.jpg

Where, for some reason, the image is titled "Fried Corn."

They seriously might as well have just used goatse or something, for all the sense any of that makes.
