Hi there,
Brian from Instapaper here. We will not be serving advertisements in your Instapaper queue. The value Instapaper provides to Pinterest in terms of parser capabilities and aggregate information about links is enough to justify the small operation cost of running the service.
I'm happy to answer any other questions you have.
Brian
- mtmail 10y agoI'm looking forward to features like finding related articles, a https://longreads.com/ https://longreads.com/ like portal or more customizable weekly digests (lately it's all US politics which I don't care about). That said the usual 'click on read later, read article on the train' use-case works very well for me, no complains.
- AdamN 10y agoTry out https://factr.com https://factr.com - we're building out a concept called Streams which will help with digests and finding all the information on a given topic.
- Happpy 10y ago"I'm happy to answer any other questions you have." How much did you grow since now, last acquisition and first acquisition?
- bthdonohue 10y agoWell I meant specifically with respect to going free. As a policy, we do not publish usage numbers.
- msh 10y agoWhat are you using this aggravate information for?
- bthdonohue 10y agoTo better understand news and trending links on the web.
- wmeredith 10y agoSo it's like a human-powered spider to Pinterest?
- Sidnicious 10y agoHi Brian, I paid for Instapaper so that it could run in the interest of its users. If it's fully supported by Pinterest, then its value to users is secondary to the value of its data and technology to Pinterest. Why can't I keep giving you money? I don't want any special features, just your undying loyalty.
- notgood 10y agoThe only way you can have an undying loyalty is by being the owner of the company, that's how capitalism works.
