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/usernam

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
- jarek 13y agoThe 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.
