Thanks a lot, Pinterest! (pr-not me)

How lucky am I? I have seen three pregnancy picture announcements on Facebook this week. SIL was the first, the second popped up from someone I don't even know but apparently one of my friends shared the photo, and the third is someone from our church. I'm beginning to feel like I'm surrounded by pregnant people!

DH asked me what is up with all the photo announcements and I said "Pinterest." Honestly I never remember seeing so many of these before that site was popular.

Oh well...life goes on.

  • Totally agree. Pinterest is awesome in some ways but takes the originality out of everything. And I have had a ton of FB photo announcements this week too and I'm *this* close to shutting myself out but I'm addicted so I can't. Frig me.

  • I like the idea of announcing with a photo or something visual, but I do think it should be more personalized to the couple. I typically don't follow the crowd, though. A lot of people like to do the "in" thing. That's why there is a dessigner purse industry. I'm sorry you are being bombarded, though. I is never easy to see someone announce what you want so badly. (((Hugs)))
  • I'm sorry you've had a rough announcement week :(

    I love Pinterest for one thing: saving recipes I find online to come back to later. I'm still really not comfortable with the fact that my Facebook friends see the things I post...

    You can turn that setting off.

    I have an entirely separate Pinterest account, with a fake name, so I can pin things that I don't want people to see. FB friends don't see anything of mine though...

  • Ugh, I am so sick of seeing the same FB announcements over and over again. Even worse is that they are always loaded with comments like "oooh so original!!!!" Yeah, or not.

    Good to know, thanks!

    I'm probably not going to do it, since all I post is recipes anyway, but it could come in handy in the future :)

  • @BruinsBabe33, DH and I do plan to announce with photos once we get pregnant. I've saved some ideas on Pinterest to a secret board. We are hoping to personalize them like you said.

    It has just been a horrible week announcement-wise. It's like all hell broke loose!

    I turned off pinterest on my facebook. I can't remember exactly how to do it, it's in your settings though. I went in and blocked pinterest from communicating with my facebook. I hated that people could see everything I pinned.
    I, too, use Pinterest for recipes.
