Is Google trying to buy Pinterest ?

Pinterest Google Deal

Pinterest is world's most popular Online Pinboard

After the massive Facebook-Instagram Deal, there are speculations in the market whether Google will buy Pinterest, -a social sharing Platform.

Pinterest is a way to discover things efficiently. You can find videos you would like to watch or jewelry you would like to buy more easily on the site.

Adding Pinterest to Google + can easily  add a wonderful feature to Google + , apart from increasing its user base of Females. Pinterest is more popular among females is a well known fact.

You can already pin a YouTube video and load it directly from the site. It shows up on “pinboards” — boards of links and videos associated with a specific topic, like fitness.

A report by Business Insider suggests that Google is taking initiatives to make a deal with Pinterest. Google’s vice president of corporate development — and Merger & Acquisition chief David Lawee says that Discovery of video is the hardest problem Google faces right now.

If you look at what we’re rooted in, it’s kind of obvious what we’re looking for….The most challenging problem we have right now is discovery of video, that’s the most challenging problem on the web. Social is one enabler, tagging is one enabler

When we asked if Pinterest was a good tool for discovery, he said “there’s a gazillion things, and Pinterest is a phenomenon that’s extraordinary.”

Sounds at least like the M & A boss at Google has thought carefully about it.

Pinterest already drives a ton of traffic to sites like Amazon with its pinned links, and it’s structured in such a way that users can curate what they’re looking for exactly.

And after Facebook bought Instagram after about 3 days of negotiations, it appears Larry Page will have to be ready to move quickly.
