Pinterest buys read-it-later Instapaper service

Pinterest

Picterest is a different social network, although many users do not consider it that way. The platform Picterest allows us to share images on different thematic or personal boards. Picterest was born from the idea of ​​connecting everyone to share the interesting things that they find on a daily basis, but it is also a kind of store where users can hang the products they want, especially what they design themselves. Although at first it may not attract attention, all users who have used it continue to do so regularly.

Picterest has just announced the purchase of the popular Instapaper service. According to the details that Picterest has published after your purchase, the service will be running as before without major changes in its operation. Marco Arment, developer of the popular Overcast podcast application, sold the service to the company Betaworks, a service that has finally ended up in the hands of Picterest. The team behind Instapaper has reported on the company's blog promising that the service will not change in the future:

For you, the end user and Instapaper nothing changes. The Instapaer team is moving from Betaworks in New York City to Picterest headquarters in San Francisco and we will continue to make Instapaper a great place to save and read articles.

In addition we can also read that Instapaper developer tool will stop working on November 1. But they also inform that soon we will be able to enjoy new functions thanks to the collaboration between both companies.

With the years, Instapaper has gone from being a paid application to being completely free with access via the web or through the different applications available for both iOS and Android. Currently Pocket is one of its main rivals, a completely free service where we can store any type of article to read it later.
