HISTORY OF PINTEREST

Pinterest is a "visual discovery tool" that was originally created for people to share ideas
and inspiration for various interests and projects. The social media site was founded by
Ben Silbermann (a former Google employee), Evan Sharp, and Paul Sciarra, and
launched in March 2010 as a closed beta.
Nine months after the launch, Pinterest had 10,000 users. By the next year, the platform
had made Time magazine's list of best websites, and in early January, Pinterest started
breaking records.
Of course, Pinterest isn't as big as Facebook or Twitter, but the network is also barely
four years old. With its active user base, rapid growth, and unique presentation, the site
can be a powerful marketing tool if it's used correctly.
