Peter Rinearson Biography

Peter Rinearson is one of the most popular and richest Journalist who was born on April 8, 1954 in Seattle, Washington, United States.

Previously in the 1980s, Rinearson wrote how-to books on using Microsoft Word in MS-DOS, for Microsoft Press. Of one of these, New York Times reviewer Erik Sandberg-Diment wrote: “Word owners should not be without Rinearson’s book, even if they read no more than a tenth of it.” According to Rinearson’s official bio at his company, he “created the first software disk to accompany a Microsoft Press book, which presented a system of styles and style sheets that Microsoft later commissioned him to revise for Word for Windows. This work laid the foundation for the formatting styles built into Word today.”

The Pulitzer Prize Board announced a new category of “Explanatory Reporting” in November 1984, citing Rinearson’s series of explanatory articles that seven months earlier had won the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing. The series, “Making It Fly,” was a 29,000-word account of the development of the Boeing 757 jetliner. It had been entered in the National Reporting category, but judges moved it to Feature Writing to award it a prize. In the aftermath, the Pulitzer Prize Board said it was creating the new category in part because of the ambiguity about where explanatory accounts such as “Making It Fly” should be recognized.

Two years later, Rinearson spun off from Alki a subsidiary, Intype, which created Babynamer.com, which had 300,000 monthly visitors. But the primary initiative of Intype was to build and market a Web-publishing platform that would enable a web site to offer a blend of professional and community created content. (This was before the word “blog” existed.) Rinearson believed that the economic principle called network effects would catapult to dominance publishers who owned the primary places where people congregated online to create and consume their own content. Intype was an attempt to get the newspaper industry, where Rinearson had started his career, to embrace community content before Web startups gained a strong foothold. The Newspaper Association of America used Intype’s technology, but when no newspapers followed suit Rinearson sold Intype to Oxygen Media in 1999.

After Microsoft, Rinearson returned to his entrepreneurial roots, where he undertook projects that converged into Intersect.com, a service he founded that launched in December, 2010 and closed in 2013. Intersect was a social network with a strong privacy model that let photos and other stories be posted or discovered at specific times and places. So, for example, photos taken at a school event by various parents (who might be strangers to each other) could be found and shared by looking at the time and place of the event. Postings also could be viewed and discovered on intersecting timelines, called storylines. This was a year before Facebook introduced its timelines, and when Mark Zuckerberg announced Facebook’s forthcoming feature in 2011, Rinearson downplayed its importance. “As best we can tell, Facebook offers you only one timeline, it doesn’t appear to let you borrow content from other people, it doesn’t have Intersect’s interesting and entertaining ways of exploring time and place, and it doesn’t let you discover lives and stories that intersect with yours,” he said. . Intersect was a success technologically but, despite Rinearson’s initial confidence, could not gain traction against Facebook.
