“Pinterest is Instagram for moms”

Pinterest is an information-sharing website that quickly became popular with women. Instagram is an internet-based photo-sharing application that draws younger-age users.
   
“Pinterest seems like Instagram for moms. #amirite?” was posted on Twitter on September 28, 2011. “Pintrest is Instagram for moms” was posted on Reddit—Shower Thoughts on November 17, 2017.
     
“Pinterest is just We Heart It for moms” and “Pinterest is like fantasy football for girls” are other sayings about Pinterest.
   
 
Wikipedia: Pinterest
Pinterest is a web and mobile application startup that operates a software system designed to discover information on the World Wide Web, mainly utilizing images and on a shorter scale, GIFs and videos. The site was founded by Ben Silbermann, Paul Sciarra and Evan Sharp.
 
Pinterest CEO Ben Silbermann summarized the company as a “catalog of ideas” that inspires users to “go out and do that thing”, rather than as an image-based social network.

Instagram is a mobile, desktop, and Internet-based photo-sharing application and service that allows users to share pictures and videos either publicly or privately. It was created by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger, and launched in October 2010 as a free mobile app exclusively for the iOS operating system. A version for Android devices was released two years later, in April 2012, followed by a feature-limited website interface in November 2012, and apps for Windows 10 Mobile and Windows 10 in April 2016 and October 2016 respectively.
