Over 20k bookmarks on pinboard.in half of which were migrated over from the original delicious Started with the $11 forever plan but then actually started paying for archive option on pinboard just in case. Link rot is a bit of problem I think about 30% are dead. I trust pinboard more than pretty much any VC backed company. Only problem is the bus factor of 1.

It would be nice to have a Firefox addon that would automatically submit your bookmark links for archival at major link archival services.. edit: Looks like at least one such addon exist: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/archiveror/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/archiveror/

Honest question, not meant to be rude, but what value do you get from having created 20k bookmarks?

  Probably 99% of bookmarks I am not ever going to see again, but finding that 1% is such a lifesaver. As in I am doing a research on some topic and I already have a whole bunch of links nicely tagged and ready to go. The problem is that you do not know which 1% are going to be useful again.
