Pinterest quietly sneaks in support for Twitter Cards

Oh, the [mild drama](http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/10/twitter-android-photo-filter-now-available/) between social networks. Just as Instagram nixed its in-depth URL integration with Twitter [about a week ago](http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/09/instagram-kills-twitter-photo-integration/), now it's Pinterest getting involved -- however, the latter is taking a slightly different route. Thanks to Twitter user Kelly Lieberman, who initially spotted the changes, we have now learned that [Pinterest](http://www.engadget.com/tag/pinterest/) has turned on support for Twitter Cards, allowing folks on the microblogging service to get a slightly better look at links coming from its own, pinboard-style network. Essentially, this means you can now get a preview within Twitter of what your friends are pinning -- you know, things like what type of grub they're craving or pics of [insanely cute dogs](http://pinterest.com/pin/135882113728761932/).
