Pinterest’s success isn’t surprising if you see how beautifully and thoughtfully they designed the experience. I thought Twitter had a really casual feel that really spurred on lots of sharing and discussion and activity, but I think Pinterest blows even that away. What’s sort of sad for Google’s screwup in the real-name debacle is that it creates a non-casual atmosphere that can detract from peoples’ potential for sharing and activity. I think that history will show that Google really screwed up Google+ by trying to clone Facebook. A clone of a popular social site without any users is worthless. Google probably should have tried several different smaller approaches with smaller teams and tried to find something that people liked rather than simply try and copy Facebook’s success. We all know that Google wanted to duplicate Facebook’s success to try and get access to all of this social data for their search experience. And between all of the big brands trying to promote their Facebook pages even in TV ads, the sheer number of companies listed at http://www.buyfacebookfansreviews.com that do nothing other than promote business pages, and the way that the market is reacting to Facebook’s IPO, we know that they’re getting significant traction that Google wants to emulate. Even though it will take years, I think Pinterest has got a shot of being the solid #2 to Facebook rather than Google+ just because they’re offering a different experience. If all Google+ can offer is a Facebook clone that doesn’t have active users, then there’s no incentive really created for people to flock to it. I could be wrong, but I see Pinterest taking off and Google+ being largely left behind here. Some people still doubt Pinterest’s appeal, but anecdotally, seeing how non-technical users react to it shows you how it’s a keeper.

Hmmm, Pinterest sounds like an up and comer.  The future?  What about Quarterest or Gallonerest?

@dberkowitz @acfou @mikemoran @glenngabe Agree w/DB, but interesting in the sense that they are losing analytics — Does it matter?

maybe because the people loves to share pictures, moments in which the pinterest offers compared with twitter…

Umm, I may be missing something but your percentages do not add up to 100. There seems to be a not-insignificant 20.32% missing.

Pinterest is now the fastest growing site for referral traffic, according to a new study by content-sharing company shareaholic. http://www.profi-fachuebersetzung.de – http://www.portedeurope.org

I was planning to create a Twitter account for Holiday Rental Lorgues, but now I think a Pinterest account would be better. Any Comment ?
