I follow a couple of the boards of a couple of these people. But I'm starting to now get a bit cheesed off with them - obviously pushing products for monetary gain. I have no problem with that, but when they pin 25 wallets over the week, and on each one have a comment like "I'm getting one of these right now!!" - its glaringly obvious what the strategy is. I prefer to follow people who are honestly gawking over something, not doing it cos they're paid to.
I know I've been searching Pinterest for our Fun Food Fridays and Caturday pics - no longer limited to Google Images searches! I really need to do some housecleaning on Pinterest. My biggest board is Infographics, and I could probably segregate into several topic-based boards. I've also pinned the main URLs for blogs versus individual blog posts. What has been the general approach for people regarding blog posts - pin main site or individual?
@Martin D Redmond I wonder if she really is. But I bet pinning is a great thing to do if you live in Antartica.

@MimiBakerMN I know, it's crazy, right? I find it interesting that these are not celebs or people with huge followers on Twitter or Google+. There are some really good boards and people to follow here!
