That's down from earnings of $1.4 million a year ago when it was still privately held. Its per-share results last year were at breakeven.

And only a couple of people actually know the answer.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"interviews\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, Scott Shafer...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: So what are your thoughts on Willie Brown's influence over the political system?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED'S SCOTT SHAFER\u003c/strong>: Willie Brown holds a unique place in California and San Francisco political history, and in fact currently. He's part Herb Caen, part Boss Tweed, part Wizard of Oz. He's someone who has always understood power, wielded power, and loved power. So eight years after leaving office, he still has an enormous amount of influence not just in San Francisco but in California politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He has the ear of a lot of people, he has a knack for collecting chits and knowing when to spend them and how to spend them and doing it in a way that on the surface makes him appear to be sort of a lovable scoundrel. But if one were to look carefully at his maneuverings, it may be less flattering. There's no question he wields an enormous amount of influence to this day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: He wields influence, but he has not broken any laws, at least that we know of...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SCOTT SHAFER\u003c/strong>: Willie Brown never breaks the law. He knows where the line is, and he may walk right up to it and he may even kind of look over it, but he rarely crosses it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I interviewed Willie Brown before he left office, he laughingly said one of his greatest accomplishments was not getting indicted. He was joking. But in the legislature when he was speaker, there were people all around him that had FBI wires, legislators that were investigated, some that were in the middle of scandal. Willie's rarely been in the middle of a scandal, but he's often at the periphery of it, at least publicly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He's shown an uncanny ability to develop relationships with people in a way that accumulates power for him, and then he uses that power in ways that are not obviously apparent. A lot of things happen because of Willie Brown, but he doesn't really leave fingerprints. And by that I don't mean to suggest at all that everything he's doing is illegal. But he's just very smart about strategy and power and politics and money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: So he knows where the levers are...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SCOTT SHAFER\u003c/strong>: Oh, He owns the levers. He is a political Houdini. There was a time in the legislature when the republicans actually had a majority, and he managed to maintain his speakership. He is a survivor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong> During the Newsom years, how influential was Brown, and how much was Newsom a creature of Brown?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SCOTT SHAFER\u003c/strong>: Willie Brown gave Gavin Newsom his first political appointment, then put him on the Board of Supervisors, and then endorsed him for mayor and campaigned for him. And while I think Gavin Newsom publicly tried and perhaps privately tried to distance himself from Willie brown once he became mayor, and to deliberately be more transparent in his dealings than Willie Brown was, there's no question Willie Brown maintained a close relationship and a very probably influential relationship with Gavin Newsom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong> How do you think Ed lee has done regarding his relationship with Brown?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think it's incumbent on the mayor to distinguish himself from Brown and Pak. I don't know the things he's done that were strongly opposed by Brown and Pak, and just because Pak makes a lot of noise publicly, it doesn't mean she really cares. The same is true of Willie Brown. These are two of the shrewdest political operators in the state, and so they know that sometimes it's beneficial to Ed lee to have them campaign and criticise him publicly; that can be helpful to their guy. They're not above doing that to help him.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Now here's my interview with Corey Cook\u003c/em>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: So how powerful is Willie Brown?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>USF ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR COREY COOK\u003c/strong>: I don't have any hesitance to say that he's exceptionally powerful, still.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don't see the way it works today as a political machine in the classic sense; it's a different animal than that. Historically, oftentimes the power of the machine wasn't the mayor, it was the informal power of the boss. In some cities, the mayor and the boss were one and the same, like in Chicago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So it's not a patronage machine in the same way, but certainly what he's been able to do is leverage the informal power that he has, which is considerable. It's partly term limits and it's partly the incapacity of local government generally, but there's a clear vacuum in terms of having a leadership structure, and Willie Brown remains one of the great strategic thinkers of his generation, and he remains super well- connected in the public and private sectors, so he's uniquely capable of filling the role he does. And that's being facilitated by the weakness of our institutional actors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's a lot of talk right now that whether you like Willie and his politics or not, there's a clear sense that this is a return in many ways to the Willie Brown era. There's a tech bubble emerging, increasing pressures like a housing crisis and gentrification in the Mission district...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the last eight years or so, this fight between the progressives and moderates has splintered into the fight over things like the plastic bag ban and the Happy Meal ban and ranked-choice voting and a variety of other issues. But the big fights right now are over development, the same fights that were around when Willie was mayor. And he's in a unique position to build a pro-development coalition. The power he brings is around how do you get these big deals done, which is his expertise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether it's the Warriors stadium or the 8 Washington project or other big deals on the horizon, it takes these extra-institutional players to play a role, and there's a re-emergence of interest in this Willie Brown machine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your view is that the city needs to be able to get these big projects done, then Willie Brown becomes an essential power broker. If your perspective is this is going to drive up housing prices and gentrify neighborhoods and fundamentally change the character of the city, then your perspective is oh my gosh, Willie Brown. Progressives are certainly concerned; they don't read the Washington Monthly piece through a positive lens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Willie was mayor, his mayoralty spawned this progressive revolt that resulted in a super-majority of the Board of Supervisors being progressive. The Newsom term was these two big ideological camps – progressives and moderates – fighting over land use, which was really a response to Willie's time as mayor. At the end of the Newsom term, there was a stalemate where things sort of got blocked generally. The progressives didn't do well in the 2010 election, and then Ed Lee was elected, sort of this consensus mayor, and right now progressives are on their heels again saying this looks an awful lot like the dotcom boom and the politics of the 90s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But folks who like these development politics are saying thank goodness Willie's back. Because he's able to break that gridlock that Newsom was never able to break through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: How much of an extension of Willie Brown is Ed lee? Is Lee just a mayor that's simpatico with the priorities of Willie Brown when he was mayor, or is he tied up with Brown and carrying out Brown's agenda?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>COREY COOK\u003c/strong>: I think that is \u003cem>the\u003c/em> question in San Francisco today. And only a couple of people actually know the answer. I think that was the question when Ed lee got in the race. I thought the best argument against Ed Lee – the one criticism that sort of stung him – was a quote from City Attorney Dennis Herrera, where he said I'm worried about him being his own man, basically. That Ed Lee said he wasn't interested in running, and now he's being compelled to run. So who's' compelling him? That was potentially the most biting criticism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So does Mayor Lee think the Twitter tax break was a good idea and so did Willie, and there's a commonality? Or is the mayor just carrying the water? I don't know. That's the question that people have had since he was the interim. And that's always the tough question when you talk about these things. It's hard sorting out cause and effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But my sense is that Ed Lee has changed his style the last couple of months. He's gone from being more consensus-based, and Willie's encouraged that in his column. So Ed Lee's style has changed, but on substantive issues it's tough to judge. He hasn't done anything so far that he didn't say he'd do in the campaign.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

And while Lee's mayoral opponents \u003ca>tried to make his relationship with his benefactor a major issue\u003c/a> during the campaign, the public yawned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, I asked two observers of the San Francisco political scene, Scott Shafer and Corey Cook, to assess Brown's influence on what goes on in the city today. Shafer, a reporter and host for The California Report, is also a \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/06/01/what-are-politicians-really-like-scott-shafer-our-own-ex-insider-illuminates/\">former insider\u003c/a> who worked for Art Agnos and Gray Davis. Cook teaches political science at USF and has been an elections analyst for KQED. Both agreed that Willie is still a force to be reckoned with. Says Shafer: \"There's no question he wields an enormous amount of influence to this day.\" And from Cook: \"I don't have any hesitance to say that he's exceptionally powerful, still.\" When I asked Cook if Ed Lee was a mayor who is simply simpatico with the priorities of Willie Brown, or if he's actually carrying out a specific Brown agenda, Cook said, \"I think that is \u003cem>the\u003c/em> question in San Francisco today. And only a couple of people actually know the answer.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"interviews\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, Scott Shafer...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: So what are your thoughts on Willie Brown's influence over the political system?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED'S SCOTT SHAFER\u003c/strong>: Willie Brown holds a unique place in California and San Francisco political history, and in fact currently. He's part Herb Caen, part Boss Tweed, part Wizard of Oz. He's someone who has always understood power, wielded power, and loved power. So eight years after leaving office, he still has an enormous amount of influence not just in San Francisco but in California politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He has the ear of a lot of people, he has a knack for collecting chits and knowing when to spend them and how to spend them and doing it in a way that on the surface makes him appear to be sort of a lovable scoundrel. But if one were to look carefully at his maneuverings, it may be less flattering. There's no question he wields an enormous amount of influence to this day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: He wields influence, but he has not broken any laws, at least that we know of...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SCOTT SHAFER\u003c/strong>: Willie Brown never breaks the law. He knows where the line is, and he may walk right up to it and he may even kind of look over it, but he rarely crosses it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I interviewed Willie Brown before he left office, he laughingly said one of his greatest accomplishments was not getting indicted. He was joking. But in the legislature when he was speaker, there were people all around him that had FBI wires, legislators that were investigated, some that were in the middle of scandal. Willie's rarely been in the middle of a scandal, but he's often at the periphery of it, at least publicly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He's shown an uncanny ability to develop relationships with people in a way that accumulates power for him, and then he uses that power in ways that are not obviously apparent. A lot of things happen because of Willie Brown, but he doesn't really leave fingerprints. And by that I don't mean to suggest at all that everything he's doing is illegal. But he's just very smart about strategy and power and politics and money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: So he knows where the levers are...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SCOTT SHAFER\u003c/strong>: Oh, He owns the levers. He is a political Houdini. There was a time in the legislature when the republicans actually had a majority, and he managed to maintain his speakership. He is a survivor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong> During the Newsom years, how influential was Brown, and how much was Newsom a creature of Brown?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SCOTT SHAFER\u003c/strong>: Willie Brown gave Gavin Newsom his first political appointment, then put him on the Board of Supervisors, and then endorsed him for mayor and campaigned for him. And while I think Gavin Newsom publicly tried and perhaps privately tried to distance himself from Willie brown once he became mayor, and to deliberately be more transparent in his dealings than Willie Brown was, there's no question Willie Brown maintained a close relationship and a very probably influential relationship with Gavin Newsom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong> How do you think Ed lee has done regarding his relationship with Brown?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think it's incumbent on the mayor to distinguish himself from Brown and Pak. I don't know the things he's done that were strongly opposed by Brown and Pak, and just because Pak makes a lot of noise publicly, it doesn't mean she really cares. The same is true of Willie Brown. These are two of the shrewdest political operators in the state, and so they know that sometimes it's beneficial to Ed lee to have them campaign and criticise him publicly; that can be helpful to their guy. They're not above doing that to help him.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Historically, oftentimes the power of the machine wasn't the mayor, it was the informal power of the boss. In some cities, the mayor and the boss were one and the same, like in Chicago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So it's not a patronage machine in the same way, but certainly what he's been able to do is leverage the informal power that he has, which is considerable. It's partly term limits and it's partly the incapacity of local government generally, but there's a clear vacuum in terms of having a leadership structure, and Willie Brown remains one of the great strategic thinkers of his generation, and he remains super well- connected in the public and private sectors, so he's uniquely capable of filling the role he does. And that's being facilitated by the weakness of our institutional actors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's a lot of talk right now that whether you like Willie and his politics or not, there's a clear sense that this is a return in many ways to the Willie Brown era. There's a tech bubble emerging, increasing pressures like a housing crisis and gentrification in the Mission district...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the last eight years or so, this fight between the progressives and moderates has splintered into the fight over things like the plastic bag ban and the Happy Meal ban and ranked-choice voting and a variety of other issues. But the big fights right now are over development, the same fights that were around when Willie was mayor. And he's in a unique position to build a pro-development coalition. The power he brings is around how do you get these big deals done, which is his expertise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether it's the Warriors stadium or the 8 Washington project or other big deals on the horizon, it takes these extra-institutional players to play a role, and there's a re-emergence of interest in this Willie Brown machine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your view is that the city needs to be able to get these big projects done, then Willie Brown becomes an essential power broker. If your perspective is this is going to drive up housing prices and gentrify neighborhoods and fundamentally change the character of the city, then your perspective is oh my gosh, Willie Brown. Progressives are certainly concerned; they don't read the Washington Monthly piece through a positive lens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Willie was mayor, his mayoralty spawned this progressive revolt that resulted in a super-majority of the Board of Supervisors being progressive. The Newsom term was these two big ideological camps – progressives and moderates – fighting over land use, which was really a response to Willie's time as mayor. At the end of the Newsom term, there was a stalemate where things sort of got blocked generally. The progressives didn't do well in the 2010 election, and then Ed Lee was elected, sort of this consensus mayor, and right now progressives are on their heels again saying this looks an awful lot like the dotcom boom and the politics of the 90s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But folks who like these development politics are saying thank goodness Willie's back. Because he's able to break that gridlock that Newsom was never able to break through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: How much of an extension of Willie Brown is Ed lee? Is Lee just a mayor that's simpatico with the priorities of Willie Brown when he was mayor, or is he tied up with Brown and carrying out Brown's agenda?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>COREY COOK\u003c/strong>: I think that is \u003cem>the\u003c/em> question in San Francisco today. And only a couple of people actually know the answer. I think that was the question when Ed lee got in the race. I thought the best argument against Ed Lee – the one criticism that sort of stung him – was a quote from City Attorney Dennis Herrera, where he said I'm worried about him being his own man, basically. That Ed Lee said he wasn't interested in running, and now he's being compelled to run. So who's' compelling him? That was potentially the most biting criticism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So does Mayor Lee think the Twitter tax break was a good idea and so did Willie, and there's a commonality? Or is the mayor just carrying the water? I don't know. That's the question that people have had since he was the interim. And that's always the tough question when you talk about these things. It's hard sorting out cause and effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But my sense is that Ed Lee has changed his style the last couple of months. He's gone from being more consensus-based, and Willie's encouraged that in his column. So Ed Lee's style has changed, but on substantive issues it's tough to judge. He hasn't done anything so far that he didn't say he'd do in the campaign.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

But Walker has told reporters that Olague told her that Lee discussed the issue with her prior to the suspension.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee also testified that he had not offered Mirkarimi a job via an intermediary in return for his resignation from office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Peskin has told reporters that a third party, Wong, asked him to offer Mirkarimi a job on the mayor's behalf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mirkarimi's attorney David Waggoner said, \"If the charging officer lies under oath, what does that say about this entire proceeding?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deputy City Attorney Sherri Kaiser called the issue \"an invitation to a sideshow\" and encouraged the commissioners to disregard it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Commission chair Benedict Hur agreed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm not diminishing in any way the seriousness of a perjury allegation... but it's a matter for the (district attorney), not something for us to decide,\" Hur said. \"The issue is too collateral to merit additional testimony.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mayor issued a statement following the commission's ruling, saying they \"made the right decision.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee said, \"It is time for Sheriff Mirkarimi to stop creating baseless sideshows, and accept responsibility for his actions and for his official misconduct.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission will return to the case on Aug. 16 when the attorneys will make closing arguments. Hur said the commission plans to make their decision that day on what to recommend to the Board of Supervisors, who will ultimately decide whether to oust Mirkarimi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nine of the 11 supervisors would have to uphold the charges to remove him from office.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

That is the same year Muni began inflating its performance rates, according to Muni's Chief Information Officer Travis Fox.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burns earned his second and last $3,000 bonus for meeting on-time goals in 2002. Under his watch, Muni's on-time performance increased from 55 percent in 2001 to 71 percent in 2005, according to the agency's inflated data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burns received a total of about $30,000 in bonuses for meeting other goals during his tenure. He wrote in an email that he recalled accepting some of those bonuses but said he turned down the additional money when the agency's budget was tight.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ford, Muni's CEO from 2006 to 2011, was eligible for bonuses worth 10 percent of his base salary, or about $31,000 each year. He had the highest salary on the city's payroll, earning $308,000 annually, and he received bonuses for three of his five years at the transit agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although he received a total of about $69,000 in bonuses, most of the money was not tied directly to meeting or improving Muni's on-time performance. One-quarter of his annual bonus was based on 10 factors; improvements to the on-time rate represented one of those factors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During Ford's tenure, the on-time rate improved from 69 percent to 73 percent, according to Muni's inflated figures. A percentage of the bonuses he received were based on that improvement, according to Paul Rose, spokesman for the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I believe the board may have recognized my performance regarding on-time performance from one year to the next to note the progress I made,\" Ford wrote in an email to The Bay Citizen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a 2010 memo sent to Ford and other top Muni managers, Fox, the chief information officer, outlined accounting maneuvers that he said resulted in on-time rates that were 13 to 18 percent higher than the actual rates. Those maneuvers, which Fox called \"quirks,\" included not counting inbound trains headed to the Embarcadero station; expanding the definition of “on time” from 1 minute early or 4 minutes late to 1 minute early or 4 minutes and 59 seconds late; and excluding buses that skipped their routes.\u003cbr>\nFord said he didn’t remember seeing the memo, adding that it would have set off “alarm bells.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ford, who is now working as a consultant, said that because those maneuvers were in place before he arrived, the progress Muni made under his tenure was real, based on an \"apples to apples\" comparison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burns, who now runs the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, said he had no knowledge of the maneuvers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a level of detail that is something I had no reason to question or be involved in,” Burns said. “If I had any indication that 4 minutes and 59 seconds was being used, I would have reported that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muni officials say they have no plans to recoup the bonus money paid to the men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The performance bonuses were based on dozens of service metrics, not just on-time performance. We are not going to go backward at this point,” said Tom Nolan, chairman of the SFMTA Board of Directors, in prepared statement. “Moving forward, I am confident that our efforts to craft more comprehensive service standards will give our customers more useful information and help us manage service more effectively.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muni has said that beginning this month it will no longer use the accounting \"quirks\" when reporting its on-time performance rates.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

So I asked our Social Media Dude, Ian Hill, to illuminate, because he knows a lot about companies I've never heard of doing things I don't understand in ways I don't necessarily approve of, but wudduya gonna do? \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: So what is Pinterest?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>IAN HILL\u003c/strong>: PinterEst is essentially a social photo sharing application. It takes photo sharing to a new level by linking photos to web sites. What it's really developed into is an online catalogue. You can follow other users on Pinterest. They \"pin\" photos that reflect their interests. There's a lot of food and wedding stuff and products. And you can click through to the web site where that photo originally appeared and just see whatever the content is around that photo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: How popular is this? It seemed to become big rather quickly. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>IAN HILL\u003c/strong>: It went from probably something late last year that most people had never heard of to, in March, when it had 2.2 million daily users, 12 million monthly users. They're not Facebook numbers, but that's pretty impressive for something that had only been around for a few months. I think people were really hooked on the presentation, the ability go to just one web site and see a bunch of professional photos that your friends like. That drew a lot of women, in particular. As of march, 90% of Pinterest users were women. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: Does the company make any money? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>IAN HILL\u003c/strong>: I have not heard of a business plan for Pinterest just yet. Like any other social media organization, I imagine it's going to be built on one of two things: Either they're going to sell advertising, or they're looking to be purchased by a Facebook or a Google. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: What do you think about them coming to San Francisco? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>IAN HILL\u003c/strong>: It is interesting. If you think about the Big Six social networks, you're talking Facebook, Google Plus, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube, Tumblr. Two of those are now in San Francisco as opposed to Silicon Valley. I don't think this will be a huge blow to the Silicon Valley scene, but Silicon Valley has its own community, and when you have big names that are willing to leave that community, it's notable. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: So you would consider Pinterest a big name in the social media space at this point? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>IAN HILL\u003c/strong> Oh yeah. I think the biggest benefit that people are seeing out of Pinterest is the brands that are going on there and selling clothes, in particular. Some of those companies have reported seeing some significant traffic and sales. People see for instance a dress they like on Pinterest and then buy it off The Gap or somewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When you look a the Facbook and Google Plus model, where they're trying to be everything to everybody, Pinterest is different in that it's just photos that link to web sites, curated by the user. How long is that going to hold the public's interest, and can it? It's really grown in popularity really quickly, but it's anybody's guess as to whether it will still be around a year from now or whether it will be part of the Facebook empire. \u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

So I asked our Social Media Dude, Ian Hill, to illuminate, because he knows a lot about companies I've never heard of doing things I don't understand in ways I don't necessarily approve of, but wudduya gonna do? \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: So what is Pinterest?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>IAN HILL\u003c/strong>: PinterEst is essentially a social photo sharing application. It takes photo sharing to a new level by linking photos to web sites. What it's really developed into is an online catalogue. You can follow other users on Pinterest. They \"pin\" photos that reflect their interests. There's a lot of food and wedding stuff and products. And you can click through to the web site where that photo originally appeared and just see whatever the content is around that photo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: How popular is this? It seemed to become big rather quickly. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>IAN HILL\u003c/strong>: It went from probably something late last year that most people had never heard of to, in March, when it had 2.2 million daily users, 12 million monthly users. They're not Facebook numbers, but that's pretty impressive for something that had only been around for a few months. I think people were really hooked on the presentation, the ability go to just one web site and see a bunch of professional photos that your friends like. That drew a lot of women, in particular. As of march, 90% of Pinterest users were women. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: Does the company make any money? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>IAN HILL\u003c/strong>: I have not heard of a business plan for Pinterest just yet. Like any other social media organization, I imagine it's going to be built on one of two things: Either they're going to sell advertising, or they're looking to be purchased by a Facebook or a Google. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: What do you think about them coming to San Francisco? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>IAN HILL\u003c/strong>: It is interesting. If you think about the Big Six social networks, you're talking Facebook, Google Plus, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube, Tumblr. Two of those are now in San Francisco as opposed to Silicon Valley. I don't think this will be a huge blow to the Silicon Valley scene, but Silicon Valley has its own community, and when you have big names that are willing to leave that community, it's notable. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: So you would consider Pinterest a big name in the social media space at this point? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>IAN HILL\u003c/strong> Oh yeah. I think the biggest benefit that people are seeing out of Pinterest is the brands that are going on there and selling clothes, in particular. Some of those companies have reported seeing some significant traffic and sales. People see for instance a dress they like on Pinterest and then buy it off The Gap or somewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When you look a the Facbook and Google Plus model, where they're trying to be everything to everybody, Pinterest is different in that it's just photos that link to web sites, curated by the user. How long is that going to hold the public's interest, and can it? It's really grown in popularity really quickly, but it's anybody's guess as to whether it will still be around a year from now or whether it will be part of the Facebook empire. \u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
