If you don't like sharing, and don't want to self-host, there is also http://www.clipboard.com

I'm getting into Pinterest, trying to figure out what the sharing, socializing, and marketing opportunities are over there. Some of those members have millions of followers. Amazing. It's like having your own private newspaper. But heck if I want to spend my time creating yet more content for some other third-party to make money on. So I can kind of see what they're getting at here. What I decided to do was create a…
I couldn't get Amazon referral links to work at first, but if you use amzn.to, your referral is preserved. :)
(I'm not saying you should spam the site, but it is possible to get credit for referring people from your pins.)

But Pinterest does not like you doing this. Somebody said they were stripping out your affiliate code and adding their own.
I thought about the 10 million ways around this, but at the end of the day I decided that if I controlled the content on my own site, I could do damn well what I wanted with it. Plus over many years it might start picking up search traffic. Who knows? And when the next whiz-bang super cool social site comes out, I still have all of my stuff in the same place.
I have no intention of spamming Pinterest, but if I'm taking time to participate and add my recommendation to some product, it kind of rubs me the wrong way that they would so directly take control like that.

"Because I don't like sharing." I think you missed the point of Pinterest. This is to Pinterest what iPhoto is to Facebook. But I'll be honest, I was first interested in Pinterest because I thought it would be a lovely bookmark aggregator. This does that pretty well from the look of it, but it's definitely a self-hosted image bookmarker with a Pinterest-esque interface, rather than a self-hosted curated web. Might be…

I came here to comment just this. I downloaded it for fun and was stoked to see manage.py! Interesting indeed to explore others' conventions. I particularly like settings as a module. One thing I tend to avoid, however (of course this is just my personal taste) is templates in each sub-app. I feel like at that point there are just too many nested directories. I'd rather have one global templates dir for the entire pr…
I often-times argue with myself over this. I do agree that one global template dir is nice but it makes the apps less copy-and-paste-able and I feel like Django apps were meant to be somewhat self-contained. However, sometimes you have so many cross-links between apps in Django projects that taking out a single app to use in another project basically breaks most of the functionality. There are big pros and cons for d…

I think you missed the point of Pinterest. If you like the point of Pinterest, use Pinterest. If you just like the look of Pinterest, you can use Pinry.
I could see something like Pinry being useful for creating communities that respect freedom of speech / information / image posting, so long as the content is not illegal.
I have been getting a error when I attach a new pin IOError at /pins/new-pin/ /Users/User_Name/Documents/pinry/media/pins/pin exists and is not a directory.
At the very least, ~/Documents is non-standard. I would hope it's configurable.
