A bit of "Pinspiration"

The "virtual pinboard" site Pinterest has taken the world by storm. For those not apart of the internet's latest and greatest procrastination tool, Pinterest is explained as:

"Pinterest lets you organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web. People use pinboards to plan their weddings, decorate their homes, and organize their favorite recipes. Best of all, you can browse pinboards created by other people. Browsing pinboards is a fun way to discover new things and get inspiration from people who share your interests."

Pinterest syncs up with your Facebook, so you can follow your friends' pin boards and share your pins directly on your Facebook timeline. I've used Pinterest to find decorating ideas, DIY projects, inspiration, graphic design, and more. Whatever you're interested in, you name it and there's probably someone pinning it already, or you can always add your own and share with friends and fellow enthusiasts.

What will you pin?

Facebook Photos Never Really Go Away

Privacy on Facebook has been a talked-about issue since its conception. Tech-news website Ars Technica recently did a report on how Facebook servers still have photos on their content delivery networks that users thought were deleted. In its investigation, Ars discovered that photos that were deleted from main user pages were still accessible as long as someone had the direct link to the .jpeg file. A spokesperson for Facebook claims that the company is in the process of updating its system to finally solve this issue. With Facebook using all the user info it can to sell to advertisers, this comes as not much of a surprise. But hopefully the site going public will be enough incentive to get rid of deleted photos quicker once and for all.
