We Have Got Pinterest Invites For You
By now you have probably heard about the next big thing that is currently taking off on the Internet called Pinterest. It basically lets you create pinboards online, and combines those with social networking features like friends and a commenting system. Users of the site can either use a bookmarklet to select new photos or videos that they want to add to one of their pinboards, or on-site functionality to do the same.
At its core, it is nothing more than a photo and video sharing community that uses pinboards instead of photo albums for the sorting. One of the core difference is that each pin links to the original site, which makes it more of a cross breed between a photo sharing and bookmarking service.
Visitors can check on all the pins that users of the site have made. Popular categories include recipes, fashion and clothing, as well as people, location and furniture.
One of the things you can use Pinterest for, besides keeping a growing collection of interesting things you find online, is to get inspiration. This can be fashion related for instance, or for new recipes that you would like to try out once you see a yummy photo of the food on the site.
Pinterest is an invite only site right now. Interested users can leave their email address to get an invite eventually, or find someone who is already using the site to get invited this way. Since I'm already using the site, I figured it would be nice if I'd offer to invite you to join Pinterest. Just leave a comment below using a valid email address, and you can be sure to receive an invitation in less than 24 hours (usually a lot faster than that).
I will send out invitations for as long as I'm able to. I'm not sure if you are only allowed to invite a select number of people.

Doesn’t Windows 8 know that www. or http:// are passe ?
Well it is a bit difficulty to distinguish between name.com domains and files for instance.
I know a service made by google that is similar to Google bookmarks.

@Ashwin–Thankful you delighted my comment; who knows how many “gamers” would have disagreed!
@Martin
The comments section under this very article (3 comments) is identical to the comments section found under the following article:

Not sure what the issue is, but have seen this issue under some other articles recently but did not report it back then.
Omg a badge!!!
Some tangible reward lmao.
It sucks that redditors are going to love the fuck out of it too.
With the cloud, there is no such thing as unlimited storage or privacy. Stop relying on these tech scums. Purchase your own hardware and develop your own solutions.
This is a certified reddit cringe moment. Hilarious how the article’s author tries to dress it up like it’s anything more than a png for doing the reddit corporation’s moderation work for free (or for bribes from companies and political groups)
Almost al unlmited services have a real limit.
And this comment is written on the dropbox article from August 25, 2023.

For the God’s sake, fix the comments soon please! :[
Yes. Please. Fix the comments.
With Google Chrome, it’s only been 1,500 for some time now.
Anyone who wants to force me in such a way into buying something that I can get elsewhere for free will certainly never see a single dime from my side. I don’t even know how stupid their marketing department is to impose these limits on users instead of offering a valuable product to the paying faction. But they don’t. Even if you pay, you get something that is also available for free elsewhere.
The algorithm has also become less and less savvy in terms of e.g. English/German translations. It used to be that the bot could sort of sense what you were trying to say and put it into different colloquialisms, which was even fun because it was like, “I know what you’re trying to say here, how about…” Now it’s in parts too stupid to translate the simplest sentences correctly, and the suggestions it makes are at times as moronic as those made by Google Translations.
If this is a deep-learning AI that learns from users’ translations and the phrases they choose most often – which, by the way, is a valuable, moneys worthwhile contribution of every free user to this project: They invest their time and texts, thereby providing the necessary data for the AI to do the thing as nicely as they brag about it in the first place – alas, the more unprofessional users discovered the translator, the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, the greater the aggregate of linguistically illiterate users has become, and the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, as it now learns the drivel of every Tom, Dick and Harry out there, which is why I now get their Mickey Mouse language as suggestions: the inane language of people who can barely spell the alphabet, it seems.
And as a thank you for our time and effort in helping them and their AI learn, they’ve lowered the limit from what was once 5,000 to now 1,500…? A big “fuck off” from here for that! Not a brass farthing from me for this attitude and behaviour, not in a hundred years.
