Pinboard
Minimal hosted bookmarking service emphasizing fast link storage, tags and an optional searchable archive.
Meet Pinboard
Pinboard is a deliberately spare bookmarking service for people who prefer text, tags and search to visual boards or social feeds. Its published offering separates the basic bookmark account from an enhanced archive service that stores page content.
It suits users seeking a compact personal reference library and willing to pay for hosting. The site also contains legacy integration references, so this directory does not treat those older integrations as currently working or assume that every third-party client remains available.
