Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Pinboard is great for what it does, and it obviously has a fan base, but in a world where Evernote and Pocket exist and are massive, there is not a lot of room for a service like Pinboard to become huge. If I were an investor I'd be wondering "how does this become a massive internet consumer service" and I just don't see the answer to that question.

- 100k 11y agoWait until Evernote and Pocket flame out and pick up the leavings? (It worked with Delicious...)
- idlewords 11y agoEvernote is doing a pretty good job of it right now. It's not a glamorous business model, but with so many online services aiming for the stars, one can make a decent living gathering up the wreckage.
- zimpenfish 11y agoI back up everything I save to Pocket into Pinboard (via IFTTT) because I know it's not going to randomly dick about with my experience like Pocket sometimes does and also that it's much less likely to flame out/sell out/"continue our journey with [CORP]" and shaft me. (In fact, I have a whole bunch of IFTTT rules to save "faves" into Pinboard from Flickr, Instagram, Twitter, etc.)
