Pinterest's masonry grid and visual search remain the best implementation of discovery-by-browsing on the web. The 'save to board' mental model is intuitive and sticky. What's pulling the score down: advertising is increasingly indistinguishable from organic content, and the balance between discovery and monetization is tilting toward the latter.
What earns the score
- +Visual discovery and browsing experience is unmatched
- +Board organization is intuitive and flexible
- +Visual search technology is genuinely useful
What holds it back
- –Ad content increasingly hard to distinguish from organic
- –Mobile web experience pushes app installation aggressively
- –Creator tools lag behind the consumer experience
