Hard to follow if you are an English speaker because not only is the commentary in Spanish, but the interface is too. Gets very granular, covering every detail and option. It would have been more useful to me if it just concentrated on how Pinterest is a visual search engine that "finds similar." And, therefore helps with the inspiration and discovery process at the beginning of concept development.
