So I live in China behind the Great Firewall which makes it difficult to get the latest news. I of course have a VPN but it doesn’t always work, but when it does I use Pulse as my main news source.

I can’t get confirmation beyond the screenshot I took, but it appears the standalone Pulse app may be retired permanently…

I’ve been using Pinterest for quite a while, not as long as my sister or my cousins, but quite a long time. I’m not your typical Pinterest user, I’m not female, I’m not American, I’m not even trying to sell anything. However I have a website and Pinterest considers me a business…
