I was just on Pinterest, it's been awhile. I clicked on what was the notification button and it says I can send messages. And receive I suppose.
Why and who would I want to send a message.
The thing I liked about Pinterest was that it had no interaction. I could look at whatever I wanted and pin whatever I liked and not have to deal with anyone.
I'm not sure I like this new thing.

Right there with ya. Some things are just better left alone.

I got an email this morning about this. It says people can "shoot me pins". What does that mean? It sounds like I will now be receiving a bunch of unsolicited stuff that I most likely don't want. They're trying to make it sound like a good way to collaborate on projects, but you know what will really happen is a bunch of people/companies spamming with pins.

This does not sound like a good feature!

Don't like the sound of having people shoot pins at me. Sounds like an open door for people selling things to spam the hell out of the rest of us. Maybe there's a block option?

Well my scrappy friends and I use it occasionally to send funny stuff to each other. It's stuff I don't care to pin but they can relate to and we get a chuckle out of it. That's the only time we use it.

I used it last night. My sister has a board for her daughter's upcoming wedding and I mentioned how she could modify something to better fit her purpose.

We could already send pins to each other, so how is this different? A friend and I send pins to each other occasionally (man, she's a hoot) and have been for months. This sounds ripe for abuse by people selling stuff. I get those 'related pins' all the time, and they can be irritating (though it is a free service and I know they have to make money somehow).
