       | "tweeting" [0], "pinning" [1] is not a trademarked activity so

       | their self-hosted solutions.

       | Pinterest is in the middle of my Venn diagram between "signup
       | wall i see most often after googling something random", "To this
       | day I have no clue idea how it works" and "I don't know a single
       | person who uses this"

         | isn't for thech savy people, and the results feels more curated
         | than Google images

         | But on the other hand, in specific markets (like fashion,
         | artistic photography etc.), Pinterest is unavoidable. People
         | use it for planning all sorts of creative endeavours.
         | 
         | I loathe it, but I might consider using _this_ for my mood
         | boards.

         | Pinterest is one of the most recommended tools when it comes to
         | building collections for most things art related. I've taken a
         | few courses on concept art/concept development and Pinterest
         | has been in 90% of it.
         | 
         | It's used to collect references and build mood boards.
         | 
         | So, while self hosted Pinterest is a nice idea, it does miss
         | the powerful part of Pinterest which is its search. When I want
         | to find roman armour or steampunk vibe architecture, I don't
         | even have to leave Pinterest most of the time because the
         | collections I need to find are right there.
