Curiosity: Why is it called Pinterest?
Its three creators, Ben Silbermann, Paul Sciarra, and Evan Sharp, began to design Pinterest in 2009, inspired by how women digitally store a piece of clothing that they like and then buy it.
So the first version of what would be this wonderful social network, was a private network that was only accessed by the invitation of its creators. It was growing and having a lot of boom until it became what we know today as Pinterest, officially launched in 2011.
The idea is to have the feeling of hanging photos, memories or ideas on a wall cork with a pin. That$0027s why its name is derived from Pin, which would be marking something interesting with a pin.
