From the article:
"Pinterest had the good fortune of surging in popularity relatively soon after launching its beta in 2010. However, after registering millions of users, the social network still had a lot of work to do.
At first, the site was buggy, the UI wasn't especially intuitive and the overall service lacked some significant features. But what saved the visual social network was Pinterest's game-changing design."
