When Pinterest goes Viral

I guess I've been using Pinterest for a couple years now.  Up until last week, I allowed the site to send an email to me, each time someone liked or repinned something I had pinned.  No big deal.... a few emails a day. 

Until this:

Beautiful photo for wedding day
Oh my goodness!!

I pinned this onto my ' photo ' board several months ago, with very few responses.  And all of a sudden, within the past couple weeks, my mailbox was FULL of notifications.  It surely must be wedding season, because over 1000 people have repinned this photo in the past couple of weeks. 

Yes, I have now changed my email settings.  I no longer receive a notification each time someone likes this photo.  But, I can appreciate why everyone loves this photo.  Isn't it great?  Mom, daughter, and grandmother with their wedding rings.  Precious photo.

You can go to this link to see if for yourself.  But be warned: if you pin it, it just might go viral. ;)
