When does Google buy Pinterest? 🤔
Pinterest is sitting on a wealth of data, driven by it's community of 150M+ monthly users, and invested a ton of engineering into classification of photos to power visual search. Compared to Google Image search results, Pinterest is far superior.
In a future where more of our interaction with technology is through images, video, and soon augmented reality, Pinterest becomes a huge threat to Google.

@rrhoover Pinterest seems like the perfect evolution of Google image search - which hasn't seen much product development in years. An acquisition makes a lot of sense. Does Alphabet have a 'P' company yet? :)

@sandrojazzar @rrhoover Snap's features are being successfully replicated by Instagram. I predict that Pinterest will be the bigger player
