"“How do we help people discover things that they really love and help them to do those things in real life,” Silbermann says about their original goal with Pinterest."

"Silbermann says that the genesis of Pinterest really came from his love of collecting as a kid."

"“Collecting tells a lot about who you are,”"

"Silbermann says that as you zoom this graph out, the pinned objects display how real people organize and connect things."

"“The people who used the product early were designers and bloggers, and they really set the tone.”"

"Silbermann says that mobile is important because a lot of what Pinterest wants to build in the future hinges on what you want to do right now, and the ubiquity of the devices we carry is critical there."

"When it came to making money though, Silbermann says that they didn’t want to commodify someone’s actions as that would cheapen the experience of using Pinterest."
