Pinterest and Google might be teaming up in a “media network partnership”.

Which might mean that you’ll be seeing more Pinterest stuff in your Google searches.

To keep themselves relevant, we’re going to see Big Social announcing more “partnerships” in the future.

@atomicpoet Which is why I add -site:pinterest.com to all my search queries.

@atomicpoet Well, at least it's official. I almost always have to include -site:pinterest.com when doing image searches.

@atomicpoet The most efficient counter-measure is to never use " #Google Search", and prefer #searx #yacy #Startpage or #Presearch ( #DuckDuckGo has been enforcing censorship on a bunch of content for a couple of years now).

@atomicpoet Well this will make my default "search -pinterest" more awkward. And also will push me further away from using Google as a search engine.

@atomicpoet I am reminded of the prescient story of Googlezon :-\

@atomicpoet I really think there will come a time when I just don't want to get on Google anymore.
