A family friend, who happens to be a well known entrepreneur/investor, just mentioned that he heard Google offered to buy Pinterest for $2B (and they turned it down). Anyone have any merit to this "rumor"? Just curious...
The Business Potential with Ads and Ecommerce is huge on Pinterest and with the current trends of acquisition, $2B is more or less the right price of Pinterest. But that would bring it to $100 / user ( if you take the 2M users number from this TC article <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2012/02/11/pinterest-stats/" rel="nofollow">http://techcrunch.com/2012/02/11/pinterest-stats/</a> )
