I'm an old-timer and I haven't actually used Pinboard in years. I'm curious how others are finding it useful in an era of synced browsers and saved tab groups etc. If there is any utility at all, the paid plan is a steal.
- thaumaturgy 6y agoIt's indispensable to me. I've had my account since December 2010. There are over 9,000 bookmarks and 1,600 tags. It is one of two repositories that replaces a long-term memory that I sort of kind of don't have.
- adambyrtek 6y agoJust out of curiosity, what is your other repository?
- thaumaturgy 6y agoThe wiki component of Phabricator.
- AndrewDucker 6y agoI do two things: 1) I take links from there and automatically share them elsewhere. I've got about 2,500 who read them in various places (Twitter/Facebook/Dreamwidth/Livejournal) 2) It's invaluable when I find something debunking the latest nonsense, and can easily find it again 5 years later when the same nonsense resurfaces.
- zimpenfish 6y agoOf my 67k+ bookmarks, I would reckon that at least 85% are from automation (Twitter/Feedbin/Facebook/Pocket/Flickr/Instagram/Fediverse favourites, things I've tweeted/facebooked/flickr'd/instagram'd, etc.) There's no way that works with synced browsers and saved tab groups.
- skinnymuch 6y agoAs others have said. I don’t see any comparison to browser syncing. People say the same thing sometimes about password [managers]. For that too, I don’t see it.
