Pinterest Analytics Startup PinPuff Acquired by Science
Poking around Pinterest well ahead of competing sites like Klout and Kred has paid off for the entrepreneur in India who came up with an influence measuring system just for Pinterest. Launched in private beta in February, PinPuff has already been snatched up by startup incubator Science in Los Angeles.
Poking around Pinterest well ahead of competing sites like Klout and Kred has paid off for the entrepreneur in India who came up with an influence measuring system just for Pinterest. Launched in private beta in February, PinPuff has already been snatched up by startup incubator Science in Los Angeles.
Science CEO Mike Jones (formerly of MySpace) announced on Tuesday that he was buying the site for an undisclosed amount of money. “Now that Pinterest is nearly as ubiquitous as Facebook and Twitter,” wrote Jones in a blog post, “and other platforms like The Fancy and Svpply are rising through the ranks, we can tap into the technology that Pinpuff has built to create a true gauge of reach – one that goes beyond clicks, page views, and static traffic numbers, one that measures the power of influence.”
