Less than a week since Instagram [3] stated its intent to unfriend [4] Twitter [5], Pinterest [6] has become the 140-character site's new image chum [7]. Although the image-based social media firm* claims that the timing was merely "coincidental," it is certainly propitious for Pinterest.

Twitter, whose new image filters [8] are now available for Android and iOS devices, is probably a little less bothered. What do you reckon, readers? Will this development pique your Pinterest, or are you filing the news in your desk's "Meh" tray?

*Calling Pinterest this is rather like calling a hamburger a bun-based comestible.
