A Few Quotes
"Perusing other folks' boards, featuring everything from picturesque travel scenes to oddly beautiful bacteria, is as enjoyable as building your own."
TIME Magazine
"It hadn't occurred to me that such an online service also would be a window into me for my husband who sees me every day."
Wall Street Journal
"Expressing passion for a hobby is just as easy as browsing for your next purchase. But what’s even more addictive about the site — a collection of collections — is that it’s just as much about the users as it is what they’ve posted."
Mashable
