I signed up for a pinterest account and didn't even realize that I didn't have to use facebook. So I signed in with facebook, thinking that it was just going to basically use it as a login portal, and maybe to import interests. Instead it auto-followed every one of my facebook friends who have a pinterest account (and sent them an email to that effect).
Within about 10 minutes, I had turned off the link to facebook, and then I discovered that there is no intuitive way to see everyone that it set you to follow. (Go to the settings page and see if you can figure it out)
I have no idea why it's so popular, especially with such a shitty interface and poor communication and similarities to every other social bookmarking app that's ever been created. But I guess you could say the same thing about myspace and social networking.
