Ooops, you found one of my experiments. 
I'm working on a XenForo mod to allow people to post images to Pinterest (http://pinterest). The idea of Pinterest is essentially the sharing of images & videos that users can 'pin' to their created 'boards' to share with others.
There are a few technical challenges that present a hurdle to using it with forums but I'm working on some code to see if I can get around it. When I ever get around to converting my sci-fi site from vB to XF then I can see Pinterest being of interest there since a lot of images tend to get shared.
One of things that I can't get around is what you ran into... that on a page like this there are no large images & no videos so it shows a message saying nothing was found.

Yes it only shows the first image, is it able to show multiple images? I read somewhere that there was an API in development but couldn't find it anywhere.
I got it to work with the arcade , it shows the standard image, game title and description. Couldn't get the counter to show initially but putting the <script>blah blah</script> code int he footer seemed to do the trick
There used to be a developers API but then they took it offline and change their FAQs that an official API is in development.
If you use the "Pin It" button in your browser (http://pinterest.com/about/goodies/) then you'll see all of the images on the page that it can find that you can select from. That approach is a more a 'shotgun' approach though in that the user needs to specify the image and then enter the description whereas using the explicit 'button per image' approach allows the explicit image URL & description to be pre-populated.
Oooh, you're just trying to make me play around with vB.I got it to work with the arcade , it shows the standard image, game title and description. Couldn't get the counter to show initially but putting the <script>blah blah</script> code int he footer seemed to do the trick

That's interesting... when using the generic method it doesn't like small images, some have mentioned a 85x85 minimum, but it looks like using the explicit method it'll take the small image.
