Flickr vs Pinterest
Flickr started first, in 2004, 6 years before Pinterest.
Why Flickr lasted
- Photographers who refuse Instagram still have originals there.
- SmugMug bought it to keep the archive from rotting. That is love as life support.
Why Pinterest lasted
- It is a search engine for wanting things, especially for people who do not want Twitter energy.
- Wedding, recipe, home, fashion: verticals with money and patience.
