This is a really cool tool! I’m always emailing myself stuff I want to look at/read later, and I invariably forget about it. This is such a good way to keep track of those things!
Thanks! What type of stuff do you email to yourself usually?

Pinterest made early inroads with women looking for fashion, home, and cooking inspiration that they could "pin". That legacy still heavily influences the type of content that appears on Pinterest and the audience they appeal to.
I think the user was pointing out that Vested Yeti, rather than just show you some "basic" fashion, like Ugg boots, can actually serve a practical purpose.

#15I use Pocket for the same kind of work.
So if I found something cool on the web, I just send that to my Pocket (via Chrome extension button or Share link integration on iOS/Android).
I'm checking that list eventually as I have some spare time or I'm out of the internet (Pocket downloads articles in the background, which is nice).

Pocket is great, and definitely a leader in bookmarking. It's easy, fast, and seamless. They got acquired by Mozilla, so it will be interesting to see how the integration with Firefox will evolve and affect their roadmap. Although I recently read that Firefox market share was down to 9%...

It was about two years since Mozilla acquired Pocket and there was a plan to make Pocket project Open Source.
