I use Pinboard.in a lot. I do not use it for "frequently visited sites"; I can type the URL faster than clicking, especially with autocompletion. For me, bookmarks are mainly for 1) things I may want again and only vaguely remember 2) articles I'd like to read when I have time. Examples of stuff I've recently pinned: - An article that has a quote from Linus Torvalds that I'd like to use in a blog post I may write someday - The best Inkscape tutorial I found in maybe 10 minutes of searching - An HN article comparing A/B testing with multi-armed bandit, which is irrelevant to me right now but maybe someday I'll want to read In each case, I pin that thing, give it whatever tags make sense to me, and possibly write a quick description. There are 51,200,000 search results in Google for "Linus." In my personal pinboard, there are 2. Guess which I'm going to try first if I vaguely remember something I once saw about him? Probably 80% of my bookmarks are never used, which is another reason why the "tag now, search later" approach is so nice to me; those neglected ones aren't cluttering up a GUI, making it hard for me to find what I want right now; searching cuts right to what I want. Pinboard.in is fast, simple, super-effective, cheap (but not free, so I'm the customer), and cross-browser (since it's a bookmarklet). It also lets you mark everything private by default, which I like. Too many things are social these days. I don't want to broadcast my opinions about sites; I just want to find things again later. It's one of my favorite tools.
