We've thought of a new way to express yourself...
Are you with us?
The basic concept is quite simple:
Do you have a corkboard at home?
Have you ever wished you could take it with you?
Well, pinobo digitizes the traditional real-life tool and enhances this experience with video, links and other cool stuff, plus social sharing.
So, we have pinobo, the corkboard reinvented.
pinobo's User Interface is designed so as to give you complete freedom to place and interact with any object on your board, even the menus. You can drag, rotate, scale and put all your digital stuff wherever you like on your board. Everything is both easy to use and fully adjustable to your preferences.
You can watch the history of your board and how it evolves over time with this feature. Pinobo will take one snapshot of your board every day.
The 1st social board application!
Because of its free form UI you can make your board a "next-generation blog", as you can pin whatever is valuable to you and you will decide how you want to decorate it. Instead of using only pictures or text to express yourself, you can add more stuff at the same time and make it richer in content and feelings. Unleash your creativity and your personality!
You can make a rich content collage, a comic book, a board about your interests (sports, movies, music etc), a board about YOU and what you like!
You can still use pinobo for your own reasons; for example to keep your daily stuff and notes. Remember! Finding your own way to use pinobo is creative by itself!
Nope. Pinobo will be a free application. You will be able, though, to purchase virtual goods or a pro subscription for additional features.
Pinobo will be available on the web, Windows 8, iOS, Android and Firefox OS platforms.
If you like the idea and you look forward to bringing pinobo to life, why not then! :P

Christos first came up with the idea about 2 years ago. He decided to share it with Kostas, and later with Spiros and Apostolis. So, one snowing day of January (2013), all-four of them met at a local coffee spot and began working on the idea. Pinobo is what came out of this. This was not their first project as a team, so they knew how to put everything together and this accelerated the process.
Pinobo is among the 6 projects on Zerofund that will chase the Mind the Bridge accelaration programme!

pinobo's infographic for your eyes only...
Christos is an unconventional workaholic computer scientist, always searching for innovative ways to build new things. After graduating from EECS and gathering the necessary technical skills, he continued with his MSc in theoritical CS and completed his knowledge base on how things work in computers. In the meantime he worked as a software engineer, both for companies and freelancing. He designed and implemented large-scale enterprise systems and mobile applications. His field of knowledge includes GIS applications, web, voice portals, e-commerce, computer graphics and gaming.
Kostas co-founded his first startup (evorad - medical imaging) in 2006, and exited in 2012 handing over a mature product family counting thousands of happy users around the world. He specializes in cloud computing and 2D/3D Computer Graphics applied to data visualization and entertainment/gaming. Kostas has been involved in R&D and technical leadership for several software projects in industries such as engineering, healthcare, banking/finance and media. Most projects involved large numbers of users, required state-of-the-art technologies and were assigned to him as "mission impossible". Kostas holds a BSc Computer Science and an MBA.
Being raised in a family that art and computers were the center of attention he had the oportunity to explore both worlds in early ages. He started to work as a computer technician and sql developer while studying for his BSc degree in the American College of Greece. Fortunately, color, sketch, animation and design were inscribed on his DNA. The result, of combining art and programming, was an MA in computer animation and special effects at the University of Bradford. In 2007, he started working as a 3D generalist, graphic designer and flash developer. From 2009 he works as a freelancer.
Apostolis is extremely charmed from the world of Branding, Digital Marketing, Advertising, Public Relations and Experiential Marketing. He has recently graduated from Athens University of Economics and Business with a bachelor degree in Business Administration. He has won two student competitions so far (L'Oreal Brandstorm 2010, Modus Vivendi 2011) and in the meantime he runs projects as digital marketer and brand strategist.
