"It's not social media we're frustrated with. It's with one another."

"Napkin Labs CEO Riley Gibson calls it as the ""Apple of social networks."" Indeed, it ""just works,"" to borrow a Steve Jobs phrase."

"What sets Pinterest apart and makes it so appealing is its focus on who we want to be -- not on what we're doing, where we've gone, how important we are or how beloved."

"In short, too many of our posts come with the silent subtext ""Here's how great I am."" On Pinterest, the tone seems to be ""Wouldn't this be great?"""

"Instead of feeding my FOMO (fear of missing out), Pinterest has taught me things, like how to make a leek-based pasta sauce or pair a striped sweater with a plaid shirt."

"While Facebook pioneered the concept of the social graph that allows us to peruse a Web personalized by all the people we know, Pinterest may be paving the way for an interest graph, whereby we can discover and connect with people whose tastes we share, but whom we've never looked in the eye."

"Unlike most social networking sites, Pinterest's first, most ardent supporters came from outside the Silicon Valley scene and only now am I beginning to see my techie friends trickling on."
