Comment on Pinterest Growth Hacks: How did it grow so fast?

Comments

I'm skeptical that the bookmarklet was a major driver in Pinterest's growth. My wife was an early and avid Pinterest user and fairly tech savvy (though not a hacker). She had no clue about the bookmarklet–or what one is–until I showed her recently.

Thats anecdotal but I suspect accurate(unless you have data to prove otherwise).

My wife was also an early adopter and an avid user. She uses the bookmarklet constantly. Be careful of trying to extrapolate from a single data point.
