Facebook Begins Rollout Of Business Manager. Pinterest Hits 30 Billion Total Pins, Up 50% In 6 Months. Tonight at an event in the company’s San Francisco headquarters, Pinterest CEO Ben Silbermann announced that users had contributed more than 30 billion Pins since the service was founded, a number that has grown by nearly 50 percent in the past six months alone.
Users have also created more than 750 million boards in that time. (Update: Our initial story said 30 million, not 30 billion. Big difference.)

Nowadays more than 90 percent of Pins have Related Pins connected to them, and the number of people who repin Related Pins has grown by 20 percent.
Silbermann compared Pinterest to curation that already exists elsewhere in the world. As Pinterest has grown up, it’s sought to provide a lot more information about the things its users are Pinning. “Boards themselves aren’t just containing images, they’re containing objects,” Silbermann said.
