It will be interesting to see how much Pinterest's usership spikes because of the removal of this barrier. Currently, the social network has 20 million users.
The requirement of an invite didn't seem like a huge issue for many prospective Pinterest users, but it stands to reason that more people will be attracted to an "open" social network rather than a gated community.
Tell us what you think. What impact do you predict this announcement will have on Pinterest?
I sincerely hope that user management tools such as block lists are implemented sooner rather than later as the spammers have already arrived. Cheers.
