Pinterest data vacuum as experienced by (me!) Sandra, tvgp
Objective: create pinterest site via phone. Upload pictures of my mag time frames/recycled wine bottle art/mixed media/heart seen photography. Link to ricks picks and magtimeframe websites.
Experience: -in order to create a site you must first agree that we can suck every contact name, email, profile, word, picture, suggestion thereof, that you've ever written or posted or even thought about posting from any and every social media network or email account you've ever created or visited or accidentally clicked on.. -that we may suck all this information/data into OUR database..
And okay.. There is no "no" option.. Like, can't I just create a new account without having you cyber-suck so much unnecessary/none of your business anyway Information..?
-not an option. You agree or you may not post on pinterest..
Fine. I agree.... (Sound effect of stealth cyber-sucking machine made audible here.. Similar to an Industrial vacuum)
Now.. Where, how.. What do I click on to upload my picture? Create a link?
Nowhere to be found...
And not even a "thank you" for all that data...
Apparently this phone is not compatible with whatever program they have going on when it comes to ... Creating...
But my guess.. Is that it was compatible when it came to sucking..
The thing is.. Its all invisible.. Behind the seems... You can't "see" exactly what has been downloaded/uploaded/linked.. You just know something has gone on...you felt kinda of pressured to agree to.. Heavily influenced to agree to..
I'm fascinated by how often and how many sites make like they are providing an option, or giving you a vote.. A choice..
When the experience for the user is that you really don't have one.
Analogy?...
I have to use the restroom...
