pinterest is getting more social #31days

Last I checked, the only thing you could do on Pinterest was like someone else's pin, or re-pin it.  You couldn't comment or message or get to know people in any way (other than following their boards).  It seemed more about things than people.

Now I see you can send a pin by email, share it on social, or even embed it.  And there are comments available.  I still don't see a way to message other users, but it's a start. 

How do you use Pinterest?  Do you consider it a social media site?
