@miguelrochefort,

It's all too easy to dismiss a service of which you are obviously not the target market. How can you honestly say Pinterest aren't worth what investors think they are? Did you see those engagement metrics? Facebook which is arguably the most active social network currently in existence has nowhere near the level of engagement Pinterest does.

The strong purchasing intent coupled with invaluable data that companies would be clamouring for on what consumers like and what they don't is MASSIVE. Pinterest needs to exploit and utilise their massive trove of data and continue growing it and I think they'll eventually beat out Facebook.

People were once proclaiming that Twitter was a fad too, look them now...
