Trying Really Hard To Like Pinterest
Senior editor and Pinterest skeptic Jessica Grose.Jess: I’m a nonvisual person by nature, and no matter how many times I try to noodle around on Pinterest, I still don’t get it on a fundamental level—whenever I go to the site the main page just looks festooned with ribbons and everyone seems obsessed with nail art . Can you explain to me why I should be grabbing photos from around the Web and sticking them on a virtual pinboard?
Holly: I don’t get what’s not to get. I wonder if those of you who don’t get it aren’t aware of Pinterest’s two parts. Most people seem to know that you can pull up the site and search for things that other people have pinned, and also repin the things you like. But do you know about the part that lives in your browser? By adding the “pin it” button to your browser toolbar , you can use Pinterest to save anything that has an image—what to have for dinner, where to visit on vacation, cute haircuts, awesome infographics, books you want to read.
Spending at least half an hour traipsing through pictures of short haircuts and only finding about 3 that are decent -.- 
Temped to start a blog and post pictures of all the awful haircuts I give my poor son.
RT @: at guys who post pictures of their haircuts. No one cares/can tell the difference
They got pictures of haircuts in the barbershop ...do y'all really b like " I want # 3 ?? " ... Lol
RT @: I'm in a restaurant full of white people with pictures of black people haircuts on the wall. ?
