Every social media site is turning into a customized personal advertising machine.

Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter...now Pinterest.

What's your idea on monetizing these websites?

I think Pinterest is basically all ads already. Now they will just get money for them.

I'm sure there is some good idea, just like becoming a prostitute is not the only way of making a living.

Perhaps it does not make much sense to make such websites if "advertising" is the only viable option?

Why the hell is this news? Srsly guis.

They were going to become an advertising machine eventually. I think they would have been better off turning all those amazon links into referral links.

Pinterest, I'm not a direct user, but my wife is, and it's had a better impact on my life, even indirectly, than any of the other social networks. It's our cookbook, craftbook, and misc idea book. I am willing to give you money. Probably far more than you'll get from serving us ads.

Are you willing to take it?
