Pinterest user numbers dip as hype grows
Pinterest’s popularity has grown drastically over recent months, but is it purely a result of temporary hype?
While comScore reported that the social photo-sharing network gained 10 million unique monthly visitors faster than any standalone site ever, while also attracting a $1 billion valuation, third-party apps are revealing a different trend with the site’s growth.
The Facebook app tracking service, AppData, shows that the monthly active users on Facebook, or the users who use Facebook to connect with Pinterest, have dropped from 12.2 million to 8.3 million within a month.
Daily active users are also down, as the data suggests a drop to 930,000 from 1,1 million.
Other sources, such as Google Trends, also show a deceleration in growth.
