Before Pinterest, searching on Google found images all over the web.A great armchair tour of the world. It still finds them… but now a very large percentage are on Pinterest pages.Those are mostly only 236 pixel wide previews instead of the originals
… and the site quickly throws up a pop-up that blocks you from seeing them, much less enlarging or downloading them for a better look.To go farther, you must become a member and then log in every time.So… I was just musing that somebody must have thought we needed Pinterest, not just to find or display beaded walnut-shell ornaments, but to ruin Google image search too.
