Why Pinterest might be annoying:

    It's basically an online Dream Board; a digital online version of cut outs you would paste to your bedroom wall.
    Along the lines of Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, it's a social media site.
    Much like the Facebook's 'Like' button, users can 'pin' pictures of interest (hence the name 'Pinterest') on their personal boards.
    It's single-letter 'P' logo resembles the Target logo.
    It has its own app for iPhone users.
    It has its own Twitter page. (One social media site using another social media site?)

Why Pinterest might not be annoying:

    It allows users to collect online images and links then categorize them (recipes, fashion, traveling, weddings, hobbies etc.).
    It acquired 20 million users in a little over two years.
    Users can visit other users' boards and are free to re-pin images to their own boards.
    Copyright holders can request their images be removed via notification function.
    As of fall of 2012, registration is free.
    The site enables companies to build their brand as pinned images get thousands of views.
    As of fall 2012, it's available in three languages: English; Portuguese and Spanish.
    The site is extremely visual.
