Pinterest is growing, that's because of its uniqueness.

There's lots of sites that are unique that experience no growth.

I think the key reasons for growth:
  1. Great design and user experience
  2. Invite only which has generated huge amount of hype
  3. Auto-follow every Facebook friend that joins the site and send email telling them
  4. Incredibly social and fun

Here's an infographic I found which tries to answer "What makes pinterest grow so fast"

A few years ago I was telling a friend that there is nothing new to be thought of on the internet.

Ebay,
Adverts
Facebook
On line selling

Then along came Twitter and now Pinterest.
And Freelancer and Fiverr


The people that think of these things are nearly as clever as the person who invented the Adkaf.

Pinterest offered a simple service that a lot of people wanted, without complicating it with a whole bunch of bells and whistles, other apps, etc.

Who can really tell why some sites grow more popular overnight while others take years just to gain a handful of visitors? Pinterest hasn't done anything new by becoming more popular so quickly. Then again, that's already pretty impressive.
