Brand Your Business on Pinterest

So, how the idea came about?

www.webaholic.co.in

"I was always collecting images on the web in folders on the desktop of my computer, but it wasn’t a very good system for remembering where things came from or who made them. We wanted to create a place where you can go to upload or collect things on the web and simply organize it the way you want to.”

Evan Sharp, Pinterest Co-Founder and Designer
