The only thing Pintrest and Snapchat have in common is that they haven't started trying to monetize yet.

Pintrest has about a gazillion ways it can monetize. I'm really anxious to see how they do it.

Just today while driving in the car my wife said "Cool, I just got a [push] notification from Pintrest that a fabric I pinned at JoAnne Fabrics is on sale".

Pintrest is a gold mine and my guess is that they've got a rosey future that doesn't end in acquisition.

Snapchat has an engaged audience. I can't imagine how they'll really monetize their user base in a meaningful way. But they're a really attractive acquisition opportunity for a bunch of companies.

Obviously investors might be more bullish on Snapchat's revenue generating opportunities...
