Pinstagram combines Instagram & Pinterest

What would happen if two of the digital world’s hottest startups, Pinterest and Instagram, were mashed into one?

Pek Pongpaet and Brandon Leonardo, decided to combine two of the web’s hottest properties as a joke one weekend.

The duo realized a “Pinterest for Instagram” would be the most extreme example, and thus Pinstagram was born.

“Over the weekend I started hacking away at it,” Pek says. “People seem to like what we came up with.”

The site also incorporates many features from both services. You can, for instance, like and comment on photos as you can with the mobile app. You can also pin photos to your Pinterest account from the site.

For Pek, Pinstagram fills a big void in the Instagram ecosystem — an easy way to browse your photos on a desktop browser.

“This is the perfect interface for Instagram for me,” Pek says, noting he uses Instagram more through Pinstagram than ever before. “A lot of people are still browsing the web on desktops.”
