I rather liked Puchfork for its integration with DuckDuckGo and overall higher quality of recipes (and better design!) than other recipe websites. Unfortunately, I'm far less likely to go to Pinterest for my recipes now and will probably just continue to search for recipes through DDG and have to sift through the results by hand.
- visualcsharp 14y agoYep. You, as a user of Punchfork, are just a gateway to their buyout exit strategy. The founders have no interest in actually serving you for any lengthy period of time. You're a number they use in valuation discussions. But hey, don't shoot the messenger. This is one reason why I don't get involved with social startups.
- curlypaul924 14y agoI agree. Punchfork is a really cool site. Pinterest has too much of a stigma associated with it.
- cardamomo 14y agoFor me it's less an issue of stigma and more a question of convenience. I use DuckDuckGo for almost all of my searches anyway, and having quality content from Punchfork integrated into my search results is much more convenient for me personally than finding recipes through Pinterest. ...but I'm not a Pinterest user (yet), so I ought to curb my griping. When it comes down to it, I can see the acquisition of Punchfork really benefiting Pinterest users.
