Does anyone else find themselves spending obsessive hours on this site? I'm an extreme Pinterester on weekends, searching everything from recipes to fashion.
I was just wondering if anyone else on here looks at Pinterest as many times a day as I.

I don't know. It seems like tumblr without the porn. What's the point?

I look on there for specific things every few months or so. Like a cleaning tip, or a crochet pattern or something. I don't really see what's there that could possibly take up that much time. Am I missing something?

I've always loved the idea, but when I first got an account, I couldn't think of enough ways to use it. I never deleted it, though, and have added a bit more stuff recently. I guess I go in spurts.

I think it's one of those things were I like to look through other people's albums.
I guess it's equivalent to spending hours on Facebook. I like seeing other things people are interested in.

I love FB. It's good for family correspondence, but I also have joined groups for cystic fibrosis, auto racing, soccer, etc. And...well...Farmville 2. I'd put the link here, but y'all might just get bombed by FV2 requests.

I'm not much of a Facebooker. I got tired of seeing prayers get sent up for so-and-so's cat's eyeball surgery.

I occasionally hear women talking about ridiculous boring crap posted on that site. Ergo, I have never visited.

I made one last year, spent about 2 hours on it and got really bored. Never went back to it since.

I check it once or twice a day.
