We're trying to do something so that when the average person uses Pinterest, it has to make the service better.

When Pinterest works well, it helps you find things that are meaningful to you. We want to build a system that helps you do that.

Pinterest is offering consumers a way to discover things on the web, in a serendipitous way, with a beautiful user interface. So it's offering a whole new paradigm called 'discover' and allowing users to be creative.

I used to wake up and look at our analytics and think, 'What if yesterday was the last day anyone used Pinterest?' Like, everyone collectively decided, 'We're done!' Over time I got more confidence.

I love Pinterest! Pinterest is absolutely phenomenal when you're trying to come up with a costume design.

Pinterest has been helpful to my business. Making inspiration boards is really key to developing products. When I was getting married, I literally cut out tear sheets and put my own boards together. Had I known about Pinterest, I would have been able to do it so much more easily.

It seems everyone is converging on a simple set of facts: Our lives are digital, and we wish to share our lives. Pinterest came at it through images, artfully curated. Facebook came at it through friends, cunningly organized. Dropbox came to it via files, cleverly clouded.

Companies like Pinterest and Twitter did not become sensations because of Google search but because of the many ways users find out about great sites.

I use Pinterest for everything. Book collections, trips, hobbies. It's all there. I planned my wedding on it. When I had a kid, I planned all his stuff on it. So it was nice to discover that I wasn't the only one.

I want Pinterest to be human. The Internet's still so abstract... To me, boards are a very human way of looking at the world.
