Pinterest has existed for many years as a sub-product of a website called Lime Life called MySnaps (http://www.limelife.com/bookmarklet.html http://www.limelife.com/bookmarklet.html). It is essentially the exact same thing as Pinterest except that MySnaps but is not a standalone product, nor is not as "clean" as Pinterest's implementation. I only know about MySnaps as I once got a freelance e-mail about a two years ago from someone asking me to recreate MySnaps for them but I shrugged it off. Makes me wonder if it was the Pinterest guys ;) It's really interesting how marketing, and presentation can make a product more popular than your competitors. Other companies with success like this include Quizlet, and Facebook. EDIT: But now thinking about it, isn't this essentially Delicious all over again as a different mutation?
