Bing's web cache shows the price being at (least, since we don't know when Bing took the cache) 6.87 yesterday (http://cl.ly/0A1N0K0C2Q2W2H0U3h43 http://cl.ly/0A1N0K0C2Q2W2H0U3h43) and now it is at 8.35. That is a difference of 1.48, indicating a gain of (at least) 1,480 customers. Every user x signing up past the point that the cache was taken generates (6.87 + 0.001x). Thanks to Gauss, we can find the total revenue using (6.87+8.35)(1480/2), and we can calculate roughly that Pinboard made something on the order of $11k yesterday, and probably a bit more since they probably round up instead of charging tenths of cents. Sweet!
Hopefully this helps the guys over at Pinboard generate positive ROI for their time, since Pinboard is an awesome service.

- JanezStupar 16y agoPlus I believe that some of them are going for premium service - myself have been wishing for a while for a site that would do what delicious does - but with archiving of linked resources - I have been just too lazy to search for it thus I was completely unaware of pinboard's existence. In short - I have migrated and went for full package.
