I imagine Facebook will try to acquire Pinterest - if there is any money left.

- duaneb 13y agoPinterest would be fools to accept their money at orders of magnitude better valuations. Pinterest has a solid product, a vastly better user experience (albeit solving different problems), is not pressed to find or invent business models, and could easily expand into more commercial areas. Facebook is a brand people love to hate, it has a stench of evil, and a highly uncertain financial future. What could Facebook do for Pinterest?
- qq66 13y agoPinterest makes literally no money today. Facebook made a billion dollars in profit this quarter. Who, exactly, has the "highly uncertain financial future"?
- adventured 13y ago$12.63 billion in cash as of this latest quarter. $922m in cash flow for the quarter. It's likely they'll be seeing $5b or $6b in cash flow annually within another four to six quarters or so. They can afford it.
