Have you guys seen the new Pinterest layout yet? This morning, Pinterest unveiled their new look and I think it’s a definite upgrade. The presentation of it is much more laid out and I like that it differs from your actual home page where you can view the pins of people you follow. It’s nice to have that separation.

I absolutely HATE the new Pinterest set up. I find it totally uninspiring to see a partial picture with four more which may or may not work with the one larger one. I have been a Pinterest “queen” with 139 boards, 16,775 post and 677 followers (which I am sure is not accurate because that number has not changed in ages). I enjoyed looking on the left-hand side to see who was pinning from my boards and had gotten to the point where I knew a lot of them with similar taste. I would see their names and check out what was new with them. I also took the time to write a note/comment to those who wrote one to me. I loved the people who shared their picture with me and told me something about themselves (I kept rewriting my “something about me” and never got it posted). I respected those who choose not to share but wish that they had felt more open. I wanted to see their lovely faces. I lived overseas many years and found it fantastic to touch base with people from all over the world. Our world is very big and yet by sharing we find that we have more in common than one could ever imagine. With PInterest we were not on politics or religion. It was a safe place to find “kindred spirits”. Shame on Pinterest, they have stolen my joy. I do not know if I will continue. Where can I write to complain effectively?
