Piictu was a photo-sharing mobile app company founded in 2011 by Jonathan Slimak, based in New York City.[1]
History
Piictu was a photo-sharing app launched in 2011. The site encouraged users to have fun conversations using pictures, instead of soley posting photos. Users responded to each other with pictures, creating visual stories.
Through this interactive approach, Piictu worked with brands, allowing users to engage with them through photo challenges.
Over time, Piictu faced difficulties retaining user interest ,earning profit, and competing with other photo-sharing apps, such as Instagram. Eventually, Piictu ceased operations, and the application became unavailable to users.
