I think this really cements the notion that design is king now. Just about all the big startup hits lately are way more about design than any serious engineering. Sure there's some smart people making things like Facebook scale but the new crop of winners are all about UI.

Which is odd, because it's visual design feels uncomfortable for me. On my laptop which is a 15" Thinkpad with a 1280x800 display - I can't even read the text on Pinterest without zooming. It's also too bright for my eyes. The multi-columns I find hideous to try and track (I can't stand Facebook's timeline for the same reason - which shows as two columns on my screen.)

Consumer focused products are about user experience as it should be. Serious engineering can only help achieve this goal.
