I tried and used many different bookmarking services, but in the long term ended up using none. Recently the need became apparent, though, and I signed up for Pinboard.
Pinboard is nice, but sadly, as much as I like it or admire its founder, I can't recommend it. Just because of the uptime. I don't think I'm a heavy user (have around 120 bookmarks since joining in March), however two times I couldn't save a bookmark because Pinboard was down.
This led to my realization that 1) the primary purpose of bookmark manager is to allow user to quickly save the page and forget about it, so uptime matters, although I took it for granted before, and that 2) reliability is (maybe the only) one nice thing about free services owned by a large faceless corporations.
Regular bookmarking workflow like in Pinboard or Delicious works fine for me, and full-text page search exists in Pinboard, I think. I just would like bookmarking service to be up when I save the page.
(It's not that bad if it's down when I try to access my bookmarks. If I were making my own bookmarking service, I'd probably make bookmarklet as independent as possible from the rest of the architecture.)
