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.

>I'd bet chatroulette.com was doing 10m uniques a month+ at its peak well within a year of it existing. I run Omegle, which competes with ChatRoulette. Omegle was released in 2009, and it does well over 10 million monthly uniques routinely now. I suspect ChatRoulette did well over 50 million uniques in a month at its peak, which was a few months after its launch. Omegle's never been that big, but it's had sustained growth, and it's bigger than ChatRoulette is now. Getting a bit off topic, but here's Omegle vs. ChatRoulette according to Alexa: http://i.imgur.com/9vW96.png http://i.imgur.com/9vW96.png And Omegle alone: http://i.imgur.com/lfJHs.png http://i.imgur.com/lfJHs.png
