Pinterest Hits 10 Million Monthly Uniques Faster Than Any Standalone Site Ever

Pinterest has been around since 2008 according to crunchbase, so almost 4 years, so 4 years to get to 10MM uniques? That doesn't strike me as an impressive enough figure to have a Techcrunch post celebrating, filler article?

2 sites I started would be competing for such "amazing growth" if this was any sort of record breaking bench mark. One site went from 200,000 uniques/month to 8,500,000 uniques/month in less than a year, another did 200,000 uniques/month to 6,000,000/month uniques in under a year. both of these sites are relatively inconsequential in the grand scheme of the internet and I assume many more sites have done way more impressive things. Dumb article.

I'd bet chatroulette.com was doing 10m uniques a month+ at its peak well within a year of it existing.

Pinterest is a new social media infested website. People are getting smarter to utilize such websites.

Don't be surprised with the numbers whether it is from Pinterest or from another hot-up-and-coming "allow-me-to-share-my-view". It's a place to promote your content.

If you can make a website targeting marketers, your number will be off the chart soon too.

Bullshit. TechCrunch is embarrassing these days.
