Just recently, Pinterest founder Ben Silbermann teased an iPad app and revamped profile pages at SXSW this week. It’s this big question mark, Pinterest, and we all want to better understand it, especially considering that the network is still building itself out. The epicenter of its popularity is in the Midwest - that’s not to say that Midwesterners aren’t tech savvy, but they’re usually not the early adopters of anything. It’s not overbearing in terms of rules or policies (at least not more so than its competitors), but still seems to be a very “white-bread”, nice place to be compared to the deep black hole of nasty awfulness that is the Internet. It’s not for women, but it is mainly women. The questions never end, mainly because Pinterest kind of came out of left field and threw the entire model on its head. What’s the growth rate? What does the demographic data look like? Referral traffic? Marketing? How does Pinterest really stack up against the big guys? But surrounded by Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc., Pinterest has really made a name for itself.Īnd while many are scurrying to set up their pinboards for FOMO‘s sake, we in the tech world are curious as to what’s going on behind the scenes.
The growth has been staggering, even in what many would call an overly social era. Over the course of the past few months, what was once a colorful haven for Midwestern mothers and Mormons is now an even more colorful haven for even more pin-tastic peeps.
