Social networking start-up Pinterest has rolled out versions of its service for Android-based smartphones and for the iPad, its latest move to boost its appeal to a broader audience.

An online scrapbook where s can "pin" images and share them with others, Pinterest has grown to about 23 million s in July from about one million a year ago, according to online analytics firm comScore. 3u242q

In its first official press briefing, Chief Executive Ben Silbermann said on Tuesday the Android app was among the most requested items by s.

The privately held company, which does not currently have any revenue-generating business, raised $100 million in funding at a reported $1.5 billion valuation in May.

Pinterest's move comes as some social networking high-flyers are feeling the sting of investor disenchantment. Facebook Inc, the world's No.1 social networking company, is trading well below its $38 a share IPO price on worries about slowing revenue growth and long-term money-making capabilities.

Last week Pinterest opened its online service to the general public, ending a multi-year period in which s who signed up had to wait to be itted by the company.
