Pinboard: How many users are using the service?

Posted by potomak on Wednesday December 07, 2011 @04:03AM
from the self-post dept.

tl;dr Pinboard has 9550 users.

Pinboard charges a one-time signup fee of $9.55 for new members, the fee is based on the formula: number of users * $0.001, so the current number of users is $9.55 / $0.001 = 9550 users.

WRONG STATEMENT: I believe that the person running pinboard mentioned that it started at something like $3 or maybe more, so it isn't 9550 but probably a bit less, even less if you count inactive users.

" Pinboard is a service with about 15,000 active users (defined as people who get up in the morning and actually make the little lights on our servers blink). "
