Pinterest vs Tumblr
Tumblr started first, in 2007, 3 years before Pinterest.
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.
Why Tumblr lasted
- Fandom, collage, and a posting style that did not survive other feeds intact.
- Automattic bought it. WordPress people might yet be decent stewards.
