At this point the data points coming out are almost conjecture. Here's something more recent that says almost the opposite: http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/222740

I know they're also making a new push specifically for brands to be able to manage content and traffic more easily: http://business.pinterest.com/

Given the new focus on businesses and the scale at which Pinterest already operates, the $2.5B isn't so hard to believe.

I imagine it varies a lot by category/board. Cat boards (which is what I use it for) = no intent to buy. Cooking implements = high intent to buy. Women browsing $20k dresses, somewhere in between.
