Apple And Pinterest


How is that a fit? Facebook, yeah, but Apple?

Apple Wants To Buy Pinterest Rival, The Fancy
The Fancy takes a 10 percent cut of purchases. Last we checked in, sales were exploding.... Einhorn and Apple CEO Tim Cook met at Allen & Co.'s Sun Valley conference earlier this year. The notoriously private Cook, who does not visibly participate in any well-known social media sites, started using The Fancy shortly afterwards. ..... The Fancy raised a $10 million round at a reported valuation of $100 million last fall, led by PPR, the French luxury conglomerate behind Gucci. It previously raised $6 million in 2010; $2.7 million of that round went to Einhorn and his cofounder, his brother Jack Einhorn .... Twitter cofounder Jack Dorsey and Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes are on the board .... Apple could well build an e-commerce layer into its operating system and let application developers hook into it, giving them a way to make money besides advertising. .... The Fancy's offices are situated above an Apple Store in New York City
My first time hearing the name The Fancy.
