Back To Basics: Ditch Delicious, Use Pinboard

  • Something about a new service called Pinboard is really captivating to me. It’s not even a startup - it’s a side project by a developer, Maciej Ceglowski. Ceglowski is a former Yahoo Brickhouse engineer and has also designed and built an internal data warehouse for Twitter as an independent contractor.

  • What’s wrong with Delicious and how is Pinboard better? The ’simplicity’ of Pinboard? Delicious seems pretty damn simple to me. Adding a bookmark is just a plus button away in Firefox with all the auto-complete tagging goodness.


    In fact, I think it’s too simple. I stopped using Delicious back in 2005 because of its lack of features (aka bells and whistles). Once you get past a certain number of bookmarks, Delicious became unsable. This was before tag clusters and other useful ways to organise and search your bookmarks.

Firefox/Feature Brainstorming:Bookmarks - MozillaWiki

  • Add a session save/restore feature, that acts like a bookmark. So a new top level menu item named "Sessions" would exist, and an add/manage sessions menu, behaving just like add/manage bookmarks, except it would restore all active tabs and sessions when the session link was clicked. This would allow incredibly quick resumption of work when using online applications, and so on.
  • I have an idea for new feature, let's call is "bookmark-reminder". I noticed that whenever I add bookmark, usually I want to return to this page with some specific reason in some specific time; for example to check on the responses in a forum thread in 1-2 days; or maybe check the status of an order placed in web store. But the problem is to remember it - when you participate in many forums, and visit many places, you forget about some you wanted to revisit. This gives an idea: it would be very useful to specify follow-up date along with the bookmark, and have Firefox somehow flash a reminder when the time comes. Seeing the reminder, the user probably would go to the bookmarked location, or postpone the reminder for future time. This would be similar to how Outlook shows follow-ups: you can then dismiss or postpone on future time.
