I never understood pinboard, or del.icio.us, or any of the other "social bookmark" tools out there Can someone explain better than wikipedia the draw to them?

  Forget the "social." Pinboard's utility is that it's a website that privately stores all my bookmarks, so I can access them on any computer. You can add tags to help you organize your bookmarks, plaintext notes or descriptions of bookmarks, and so on. I find it extremely useful for saving the results of internet deep dives, where I might end up with ten tabs open that I want to save to revisit later.

    What is your workflow to bookmark in "bulk"?

      I use the the bookmarklet (https://pinboard.in/howto/#saving https://pinboard.in/howto/#saving) and save one page at a time. It only takes a moment so I've never felt the need to automate it, but I'm sure one could.
