Pinterest crosses 100 million users
- 9 years ago
More than 100 million users are on Pinterest, the online bulletin board-style service which allows people to "pin" images based on their interests, the California company has said.
Co-founder Evan Sharp told AFP that most of the users "are not just visiting Pinterest once a month, but they're actually discovering something so interesting that they're saving it or are clicking through to the website."
The number of Pinterest queries is now estimated to be more than 1.5 billion per month, according to the company, which is seeing its strongest growth globally, with some 45% of users outside the US market.
Pinterest, whose valuation has jumped to $11 billion, employs 500 people and has recently opened offices in Paris, Berlin, Tokyo and Sao Paulo.
