25 “Pin-ispiring” Facts About Pinterest That You Probably Didn’t Know

Pinterest is without doubt the world’s biggest online catalog of ideas. Many dedicated pinners see it as a source of inspiration, while others choose to use the site as a supplement or complement to their work. Unlike Facebook or Twitter, Pinterest is a “quiet” and unique social media platform where you can casually browse and bookmark visuals without worrying whether other people will like or comment on your posts. Pinterest is a platform that gives you the opportunity to express yourself and allows you to broadcast your tastes and lifestyle to the world, even if that lifestyle is just the stuff of dreams.

A 19-year-old Wyoming girl, Shayla Wiggens said she "got up and went for my little walk, to catch Pokémon Go." However, the game led her to a shocking surprise—a dead body in a river.
The pursuit of Pikachu and friends led her to a highway bridge over the Wind River near the city of Riverton, where she jumped a fence to approach the water. She spotted two deer near the water's edge, and then a corpse lying prone in the water, wearing a black shirt and pants.
The Fremont County sheriff's office said that it was investigating the death, and believe the man simply drowned. Wiggins remains unswayed and will continue to play the game. “I might go get a water Pokémon, she said. “I'm going to try.”
