March 16, 2012

Today’s update is short and sweet. First of all, we’re back on the first page of Google Play searches for “Pinterest”, yay! In the meantime, when he’s not working on the iOS version, Paul has been monkeying around with the code. This IS a beta test, after all. Yesterday we added a category for top […]

We were notified by Google today that the Spinterest for Pinterest and Spinterest for Pinterest Free have been removed from the Google Play app store.

Hello! How are ya? Did you know Paul and I -I’m Heather by the way, nice to meet you- communicate mostly through texts and IMs? That’s what happens when you live a hundred miles apart and have lives and jobs and the little start-up that could. I woke up bright and early this morning -because […]

March 7, 2012

So our hope was for Pinterest to get its API straightened out and in order yesterday sometime around noon EDT. Unfortunately this has not happened. For those that don’t speak developer / geek / nerd whatever. The API is just how people like Paul and I can take public information provided by Pinterest and use […]

What Happened to Pinterest’s API?

March 6, 2012

Eek! At approximately 8pm EDT on Monday, several of the Pinterest data feed servers experienced a problem that it appears they have not fully recovered from. In our experience with past Pinterest-side glitches, they usually get them fixed up after 9am PDT. This outage is a little unusual in that Pinterest.com itself isn’t down any longer. It’s a bummer […]
