Pinboard Now Offers Bookmark Archiving for $25 Per Year
- loginx 17y agoOr you could wget pages to a dropbox folder to accomplish the same kind of functionality for free.
- iburattini 17y agoTell this to 90% - 95% of the world who has Windows as a desktop.
- Psyonic 17y agoWget does exist for Windows, but your point still stands. Most people don't know what a browser is, it's just "the internet."
- ionfish 17y agoSomething else to do, something else to forget. You could run your own bookmark server for not much work too, but for the price of a round of drinks, I'm happy to let Maciej handle it for me.
- kvs 17y agoI am currently using http://www.zotero.org/ http://www.zotero.org/ on Firefox with Dropbox.
- iburattini 17y agoGreat idea! I would buy this service, but @ 9.99 per year. At 25,00 actually makes me think... but good luck!
- Mark_B 17y agoBetter yet - offer the service free-to-use with some trivially low amount of space (like 5MB) and then charge per year on amount of space ($10/yr = 50MB, etc).
- JoeyS1980 17y agoWow.... Great website. - You can do this access Google Document - Create a new doc named it "My Personal Links" - Copy and paste the link into your "My Personal Links" - FREE!!!!!!
- iburattini 17y agoErrr.... I don't think that you got the service idea.
- JoeyS1980 17y agoNope you don't get my point. There is a lot of application out there that with the same service for FREE.
- pmcginn 17y agoIs there any better way to phrase this than Bookmark Archiving? I was assuming it was just bookmarks syncing ala Xmarks or Google, which honestly is more my fault than theirs. I'm probably not the only one, though. Won't sign up--Firefox's Save As Web Page, Complete in a Dropbox folder is good enough for me. If I were still a student depending on webpages to stay up so I could quote them, though, this would be a no brainer. Hope you guys have some luck.
- jeremymims 17y agoIf you need a robust solution for tracking updates on the pages or sites you bookmark, I highly recommend perpetually.com.
- drewcrawford 17y agoHere's a seriously stupid question: what's the difference between this and hitting the "Clip to Evernote" button on my browser? As a side note, I've never really understood "social bookmarking." Isn't it just like a cross between Reddit and Google Reader?
- zzzmarcus 17y agoDiigo does this for free. You can bookmark the page, save a cached copy and optionally annotate the page as well. They have browser plugins for Firefox and probably IE and a JavaScript bookmarklet that works with Chrome and Safari etc.
- stjarnljuset 17y agoI just checked out Diigo and it looks pretty cool. It lets you annotate, share, and search your archived bookmarks which as far as I can tell, Pinboard doesn't do. On the other hand, Diigo only stores the HTML (like wget) and a screenshot, whereas Pinboard will store the CSS, Javascript, images, and embedded videos, similar to what right-click, Save As would do (minus the video?).
- theli0nheart 17y agoIt's hard to compete with free and more features.
- joshu 17y agoI don't get it. What's the point of having bookmarks on a server? What if I need them while I'm on an airplane?
- deleted 17y ago[deleted]
- stilist 17y agoWhat if the page’s content is changed a year later? Or deleted? Or the site is sold? Or the domain expires? You bookmarked what it was, not what it is.
- blasdel 17y agoYou got his point backwards -- one of the main use cases for saving the contents of bookmarks is that you have an offline copy, not just a frozen copy.
