Pinterest: Scaling Beautiful Maps
Pinterest now has maps! Gorgeous maps, designed by our friends at Stamen using our open source map design studio TileMill and our new vector tiles — all hosted on MapBox.com.
This stack gives Pinterest a map that matches their unique brand and that scales for their millions of users — so it’s fast on every device, anywhere in the world. Like any other map hosted on MapBox.com, Pinterest’s map gets live data updates every minute as new data is added and improved by the OpenStreetMap community. Now, Pinterest users have the ability to edit the map on OpenStreetMap.org and see the updates almost immediately, anywhere on the site.
“Every day people Pin about 1.5 million places, and now there are more than 750 million Pins of these destinations on Pinterest.”
