When pinterest started a few years ago, people were pinning photos with no indication where they came from. A lot of people complained to pinterest, including me.
At some point within the last year (I can't remember exactly when) pinterest changed its policy and how its software works. Now any and every pin gets posted with its source posted just below it. This happens automatically, without the pinner having to do anything to achieve this result. If a photo of mine or yours comes up on a google search, and you click on it, you get a little box which gives you the option of viewing just the full size image, naked without comment, or you can choose to view the web page the image is from. The web page is the source, such as your website or mine. Since pinterest made this change in how it functions my attitude towards them has changed, and I find it quite useful. I'm using it to collect good pictures of historic and modern laces. I'm often searching for illustrative examples for lace identification. There are others on pinterest with the same interest. Sometimes I pin their pins (when they have found something I hadn't seen) and sometimes they pin my pins. Either way the source address gets attached.
