"To those who still don't use the service: use the possibility: sign up in this year, you can use than the service as long as it exists."
One side-effect - almost certainly unintentional, from what I know of Maciej - of the change is that a surge in subscriptions might occur as people take advantage. If I hadn't already paid, I certainly would now. I originally signed up more-or-less on a whim, and I haven't taken full advantage of pinboard by any means. Still, I might now and, if I find it really useful, I'm sure I'll go ahead and pay for the annual sub.

- acqq 12y agoThe real worth of the service for me was the archiving functionality which was always to be paid yearly. Instead of saving the web pages locally on my computer and copying the links in some documents I can know now that they are safely duplicated by Pinboard and that I can describe them, give them the tags and then later easily find. And all that for just USD 25 per year, which I find a reasonable price. I'd certainly spend more of my time wen maintaining the same myself.
