I am not a Pinboard "user" but it is a great way to find stuff to read. The system has a very nice url system. For example: https://pinboard.in/t:minimalism ht

Indeed, and it'll be grown increasingly into a platform for subscription-based consumption, when the Pinboard Reader is launched. You can basically create your own reddit feed of tags, even if you don't intend to use the bookmark feature - which is quite excellent.

  As a long time pinboard user, I devoutly hope not. It's a great service for antisocial people like me, and I'd be disappointed were it to develop that "social" layer of oily mucus.

    You can already subscribe to tags. It's not social in a sense that you can interact directly with others, but it does have a secret feature of sharing your bookmarks with others by making them public.

I'm a pinboard.in user, but I actually find the URL scheme annoying, at least compared to delicious. I find it much easier to type http://delicious.com/username/tag http://delicious.com/username/tag than http://pinboard.in/u:username/t:tag http://pinboard.in/u:username/t:tag

  The argument has been that by specifying what each URL part is, you can build a link to https://pinboard.in/t:minimalism https://pinboard.in/t:minimalism in the first place. Is delicious.com/minimalism the tag minimalism or the user minimalism? And what is delicious.com/settings? In practice, delicious gets around this by making all-user tags accessible at http://delicious.com/tag/iphone http://delicious.com/tag/iphone, but then you can't have a user named "tag". Or "tools", or "help", or "about", or "terms", and there's probably more and they might change every now and then.
