Default Pinterest

I know a number of you have probably never heard of pinterest.com... I've only heard about it recently. It is a website where members can 'pin' images of things they like (visual bookmarks). It seems a bit like 'liking' something on Facebook, but members see visual representations of each thing they've pinned, and they can group them into categories. It is integrated with Facebook and Twitter somehow. I'm still learning about it, but it seems like a great way to get exposure to your ecommerce site.

If members 'pin' an item from your store, it's kind of like free publicity. Not only will the member see/remember it, but their followers will see it as well. But how can I modify my files so it will include this in the product description (dynamically)? It needs a URL and an image for each product. Would someone know how to write the php that pulls this info?

Here is a (non X-cart) store that has the Pin It button on their products. http://www.youcanmakethis.com/products/holidays/baking-memories-tea-towel-gingerbread-design.htm

Sorry if I've posted in the wrong forum... please move if needed.

Thanks
