Sometimes I use pinterest when I'm looking for cooking inspiration. It is absolutely nothing like 4chan, I have no idea what you are talking about.

Well Pintrest and 4Chan are quite similar in their underlying ideas, both are twitter (yes i know 4chan predates twitter) with images basically.

There are quite a few differences but they aren't that far apart as people think.

Forget the "quality" of content and trolling for a moment, you can't really say that these 2 do not look similar.

IMHO with pinterest the long-term memory aspect is quite important (collect things and look through them later), which 4chan is completely missing.

One is a catalog of images with description.

The other forces login or an app download.
