Re:Hidden "Block" Feature Discovered on Pinterest by mrgoldenbrown on Wednesday October 17, 2012 @10:25AM (#4664549)
I don't like the tone of the article. It implies that Pinterest is withholding this vital feature, just to spite users, and this pin league site is freeing us from their tyranny. I find it much more likely that Pinterest is simply testing the feature and wants to make sure it performs properly before releasing it to the masses. EDIT: spelling.

You're right about the tone- I didn't mean it to come off that way, but I guess it did. I'm sure Pinterest isn't doing it to spite users.. and I agree they are likely testing the feature.. or more likely preparing to start testing it. I tried it out myself to make sure it worked, and given that it's been one of the highly anticipated features I just thought, hey.. why not- let's give people what they want.
