I have been spending time on Pinterest these days. Such a simple and elegant interface. It will be interesting to see how they monetize the business. Makes huge sense for commerce affiliate programs, this alone could be enough to make for a multi-million dollar company. Surely the consumer behavior of pinning will be going mainstream. But, there are a considerable amount of boards that are not a natural fit for commerce monetization. Yet, Pinterest is a meaningful service for so many categories such as designers, architects, contractors, stylists, decorators, etc. Pinterest is poised, in my opinion, to define monetization in many other categories that are less apparent than commerce affiliate programs. I am sure we will see Pinterest invent new buiness models to monetize these other categories. What do you think?
