For pinterest user, why do you use it? I tried it once and thought it wasn't so helpful to me. I am always skeptical about the outlook of Pinterest but it seems like it's pretty strong with funding.
I'm a UI and motion designer. I use it for curating different types of art that I see around the internet. If I need inspiration for a project its helpful to look through some of my boards for ideas. Sometimes I'll make one-off boards for individual projects also.
I've found it can be helpful for research too as just an organizational tool. For example I'm building an LED display so I've been collecting useful links or cool applications of LEDs on a board.
I never used it until someone who I asked to decorate my apartment got me on it, and we would start pinning things we liked or find tasteful and comment on them. Then it was really handy. You could have boards for the kitchen, bedroom, artwork, etc. Really useful, especially to keep a record of things you need to buy eventually too (this is what it looks like, and heres the link). I think it's likely a great professional tool for interior decorators, designers, contractors, etc.
When I am about to pay for shoes or anything clothing, or when I just want ideas for what to buy I search to find if someone has pinned or fancied them.
