We’ve got Pinterest! (4 posts)

  • Happy Monday Folks.

    Did everyone see that you can now add a Pinterest link to your profile?  So happy to see this. Now, I will just have to start going through my friends here and see if there are some that I am not following on Pinterest. Easier said than done. 

    Although we try to connect, some folks don’t always follow back or don’t recognize us from these forums. I usually send a note saying that I met the person here, or know them from here so there won’t be any problems.  

    Any tips on how to invite without throwing someone off? Meaning, they don’t recognize you and REPORT you as a spammer.  I especially don’t understand people who get their panties in a bunch over an FB invitation when IF they would stop and think for a minute, they’d realize THEY DO KNOW ME!  Cripes.

  • Really, are people that anti social? I welcome anyone to be my friend on Facebook,https://www.facebook.com/acinqmars, or Pinterest,http://pinterest.com/alancinqmars/. As I see it as long as the person isn’t spamming the heck out of my site I welcome the fact that they may help me go viral thru their site. Especially when it comes to Pinterest.
    Thanks for listening, Alan Cinqmars

  • Eileen, I know what you mean about getting false spamming dings. That’s only happened to me twice, but I knew the people and they knew me. I just assumed they were having an unofficial OVERWHELM day and I got caught up in their big delete fest.

    This rings true with me right now as I’ve spent days going through 16,000 emails, for real, and had to stop with the “be-nice” approach of actually going in and asking to unsubscribe or whatever you do… and finally, just hit the spam button on thousands of them. Now all those go to my Spam folder where I just hit the delete button. If I made a mistake and deleted someone important, I’ll just fix that later.

    But Yahoozie on SME adding a Pinterest button to our profiles. It’s definitely my extra specialist mostest favoritest little site on the Web! Uhhhhh, that and YouTube, that is. Both are a blessing to me and my business. Easy-peasy, lotsa fun, fun, fun, and provide a LOT of bang for the buck!

  • Hi  @alan-cinqmars — believe it or not, yes, some people are. Many of the folks that are on FB for personal stuff only are the ones who hit that report button, but the thing is, I don’t bother sending just anyone a request.  I follow the rules, and then get a whammy for it. THIS is what irritates me so much. 

    Hi @atlantarobin — I have trouble managing my email from time to time and pretty much do the same thing as you do.  However, with gmail the search function helps me sort out what I need to get rid of pretty fast anyhowsen. :D
