Why Pinaccurate?

How many times have you seen a completely AWESOME pin on Pinterest, only to click through and find out that the link goes nowhere (or nowhere helpful)?  Have you eagerly clicked on a "free pattern" or a "great tutorial" link only to find out that no such pattern or tutorial exists?  Have you found pins that lead to another Pinterest-type site, which in turn leads back to a different pin on Pinterest?  How about pictures where one click makes it painfully obvious that someone made up the description out of thin air or chose a picture that is NOT a demonstration of the technique they describing?

This is why Pinaccurate exists.  Here we will archive pins with incorrect URLs, pins with misleading or downright wrong information, and maybe even pins that are just patently bad ideas.  It's a bit like being a grammar nazi, but with pins on Pinterest, and plenty of snark.

Here we go!
