Snippet | Polyvore was a community-powered social commerce website headquartered in Mountain View, California.[2] The company's virtual mood board function allowed community members to add products into a shared product index, and use them to create image collages called "Sets".[3] They could also browse other users' sets for inspiration, share sets with friends and interact with people through comments and likes.[4] Due to the visual nature of the tool Polyvore was mostly used to build sets in the fields of home decoration, beauty and fashion.[5] Online retailers, too, could upload their product images to Polyvore and link back to their product pages[6] or use Polyvore to encourage users to showcase their products through such activities as board creation competitions.[7] Polyvore opened an office in New York City in August 2012. At that point the company said it had amassed 17 million active users.[8] By the end of 2012 the company said its site was receiving 20 million unique visitors per month,[9] a number which continued to be used in 2016.[10][11] The site was bought by SSENSE and, on April 5, 2018 it was completely shut down. |
