I have facebook for the moment, using it less and less but I have a couple of friends who are hard to track down otherwise and I like it notifying me when some local bands are playing because they are on my friends list. The impulse to delete it is growing though. |

| 1284545 | 2012-06-30 04:42:00 | Pinterest? I'm p***ed off, for one. I've had a Hotmail account for 12-15 years or so, and the only reason I've resurrected it recently is it provides the interface between my Windows Phone and Outlook on my PC. What I found out yesterday is that Pinterest has used my Hotmail address to generate mail from me, to everyone in my Outlook address book. The only saving grace is they haven't (that I can tell) any personal info on me as they haven't used my full name. The email that purports to come from me uses language not in my usual vocabulary ... "like", "your good Buddy", "your long lost pal", "awesome" etc. The marketing attachment is the usual b******t scam material, relating to a product I have no contact with at all. All I can surmise is someone else's email address book has been accessed, and I happen to be on that list. :angry |

Pinterest were slammed a little by hiding affiliate links (techcrunch.com) which they have now removed, of which a third party - advertiser skim links - may have been referring/advertising to Pinterest users. E commerce start-ups are benefiting the most from Pinterest, and females Pinterest users, about a third well off (US typically) with a penchant for beauty and fashion. |
