I know that the Android app’s description says that you can “Pin what you love from around the web,” but how does one do that?? I can only see the way, as you described, to add photos from your phone.
You can do share the webpage using Intent.
For e.g open any page in firefox for Android, hit menu button and then ‘Share’ button and you’ll see ‘Create Pin’ option in the Intent service list.
