Pinterest Is a Unicorn. It Just Doesn’t Act Like One. - The New York Times

The company rejects Silicon Valley’s aggressive, hype-driven way of doing business. But its slow and steady approach has frustrated some investors and employees.

Investors: this can be Moptu. Our vision is conceptually different than Pinterest's, but our approach to the market has been very similar. We absolutely believe in quality growth. Parroting the Silicon Valley model never made sense to us either, and now that seems to be a wise approach. Pinterest is aspirrationally focused and we are informationally focused - so our target market isn'tidentical: Pinterest can't become us, and we have no desire to try to be a new Pinterest. We need investors to fulfill our ultimate vision for Moptu. If you are interested in hearing more, please get in touch: joshn@moptu.com.

Pin This: Pinterest just scored $150 million in funding

The company is valued at $12.3 billion.

Moptwo is looking for investors. If you are a VC, or have a connection to a VC, PLEASE contact me at joshn@moptwo.com. I am Moptwo's co-founder. If Pinterest is worth $12.3 BILLION - investing the relatively modest amount we are asking for in our first round of funding should be a an extremely easy decision. Not because we are another version of Pinterest, but because we are doing something unique that no other social media site has done, or is doing.

We are also in the midst of a major re-brand, vastly improved UX/UI updates, and the formulation of a new marketing strategy. We would be happy to talk to you about our numbers (which are impressive given our current marketing budget of: exactly NO dollars).

Pinterest Tries to Ditch the ‘Social Network’ Label | Re/code

Pinterest isn't social -- it's all about me, myself and I. Pinterest CEO Ben Silbermann said that while his five-year-old startup has social elements — you can re-pin an image or send someone a private message — he doesn’t view the company as a social network

This is a very odd tack for Pinterest to take in my opinion. Yes, it is about social discovery, but that discovery is based largely on content provided by people that you are connected to. It isn't about sharing the minutiae of your daily life, but, like Moptwo, it IS about sharing and posting information that is interesting to you for like minded people to also read/see/share. I think he is being very short-sighted here. It makes Pinterest users look isolated, small minded and somewhat selfish and we know that they are not.

Americans Use More Online Social Networks - NYTimes.com

More than half of American Internet users log onto at least two social networks regularly, according a new research survey. While Facebook remains the dominant network, other networks like Instagram and Pinterest are growing in popularity.

This is amazing. It definitely defies the idea that social media's growth is dependent on people under 30. Social media is new, but like all tech, it is becoming part of mainstream life. Therefore, the growth potential is still enormous. It's like so much of tech. Some people still think of email as "new," but it's over 30 years old and has been pretty mainstream for almost 20. Newness doesn't mean it's "for the kids" even though they are the people who tend to adopt new tech first, which is where the perception often comes from. New ideas, like Moptwo, will continue to come along as new uses for social media are discovered.
