History
Development of Pinterest began in December 2009, and the site launched as a closed beta in March 2010. The site proceeded to operate in invitation-only open beta. Later, the site made registration possible after an email request.
On August 16, 2011, Time magazine listed Pinterest in its "50 Best Websites of 2011" column.[4] Pinterest is similar to earlier social, image bookmarking systems based on the same principle, such as David Galbraith's 2005 project Wists.[5]
The Pinterest app for iPhone was last updated in February 2012.[6] The company also has a mobile website.
In December 2011, the site entered the top 10 social networks, according to Hitwise data, with 11 million total visits per week.[7] The next month, it drove more referral traffic to retailers than LinkedIn,YouTube, and Google+.[8][9] The same month, the company was named the best new startup of 2011 by TechCrunch.[10] Noted entrepreneurs and investors include: Jack Abraham, Michael Birch, Scott Belsky, Brian S. Cohen, Shana Fisher, Ron Conway, Kevin Hartz, Jeremy Stoppelman, Hank Vigil, and Fritz Lanman.
In January 2012, comScore reported the site had 11.7 million unique users, making it the fastest site in history to break through the 10 million unique visitor mark.[11] Pinterest's wide reach helped it achieve an average of 11 million visits each week in December 2011. Most of the site's users are female, with 97% of the site's Facebook "likes" being made by women.
