On Pinterest. A rant.
Does anyone else have a problem with pins not loading or disappearing after they’re pinned from Tumblr? I realized that if you’re pinning from the dashboard or someone’s feed, these pins are being pinned from temporary pages, so when that page or person posts again it pushes pages down in their feed, and the ‘page 2’ in url changes and the image breaks.
This makes me wonder, though.. If Pinterest is just displaying an externally hosted image or actually hosting them… because if a pin is so popular that it crashes the original pin from too much traffic would it break? In a few years, we might look back at our boards and see a bunch of expired pins (no images?). For that matter, (and this has happened to me on Polyvore…) if I go to look at an older product and the site doesn’t carry it anymore, there’s a link to a ‘sold out’ or ‘old item’. Not sure how Pinterest will handle this when they just have long-gone products pinned with essentially expired links.
While we’re on the topic: If it were up to me, I’d add a few more ways to browse: by color, or by website, the way you can on Polyvore. I’d also like to see more categories. For example, I like to pin ‘omfg celebz’, and there is a category for ‘people’ but not for celebs. And lots of people like to pin mantras and quotes but there is no categorization for ‘words’ or ‘inspirational quotes’.
Blahbedy blah.
What say you?
