Pintile claims to be India’s Pinterest
06 Mar 2012

Gurgaon-based Fizzy Softwares has launched Pintile.com as an online bulletin board exclusively for India, inspired by Pinterest.com. According to the company, Pintile aims to depict India in the form of images where people "PIN" their cultures, styles, ideas and much more.

Pinterest is a pinboard-styled social photo sharing website. The service allows users to create and manage theme-based image collections. The site's mission statement is to "connect everyone in the world through the 'things' they find interesting." Pinterest is managed by Cold Brew Labs, a team based in Palo Alto, California.

Pintile offers people a way to connect with others to share their experiences by pinning them onto their boards that can be personalized for each person. People can also like pins, and even re-pin them on their bulletin board. While the website has a few guidelines, people are free to pin whatever they like.

Fizzy Software is a web and mobile product development company and was founded in 2007 by Sudhanshu Aggarwal and Ashish Sharma. Fizzy has built Facebook applications and iPhone games under the Fizzy Apps brand.

Another shameless rip-off. Why don't they even bother to alter the background color atleast?

PinTile is an exact copycat of Pinterest. What is the innovation here ? Even the tagline has been copied word to word.

This is irrational thinking. There is no "geographic" limitation to pure web platforms like pinterest or gmail or facebook or google and so on.
