You have a very naive understanding of economy and "revenue".
Not all value comes from purchasing goods.
In other words, Pinterest is a fad. However, "things" (which are a big part of Pinterest) will become the next big thing.
The future "next big things" in tech/web is quite obvious:
- Facebook for Things
- Personal inventories
- Decentralized "semantic" marketplace
- Smart contracts
- Task management everywhere (the future of operating systems)
- The death of privacy
- Cryptocurrencies
- Personal democracy (filter bubble on steroid)
- Universal "trust" score
- The death of the government (at last)
Of course, all of this is intuitive speculation. But I wouldn't be surprised to be right. Actually, it would be surprising if I were wrong.

- encoderer 13y agoI will let the "market" judge me by modding this up or down, but I for one think your opinion of your own powers of prognostication to be overrated. You make no case except "listen and behold my awesomeness."
- nostrademons 13y agoI think you're a little too taken with fads and don't pay enough attention to trends. Your list of "next big things" reads like the pop science articles on Wired and doesn't have any data from the real world to support it.
