3. I click on one of my existing tags or add a new one
4. The Pinboard organize tool shows a preview of the content so I can edit bookmarks quickly
5. Automatically archives my retweets and links posted to Twitter
6. Let's me have private and public bookmarks
Just sayin' for me bookmarking is a solved problem.
Personally, I don't want something with unique UI features like folders popping up on my browser window. That just interrupts the workflow I've already developed.
I also appreciate that I paid for Pinboard and can reasonably expect it to be around for awhile without getting acquired or shutting down.
What are Pinboard's tag management tools like? Can I merge tags together?
Does it show the number of items tagged with a tag when tagging a new item? I found that v useful until Delicious removed it (often I enter synonyms by accident, and this helps me control my tag vocabulary)
Without a trial of Pinboard it's very hard to answer these questions...
I don't think it shows the number, but it does make suggestions from the list of tags you've already used. If you type out your tags manually it uses autocomplete so you don't end up with typos or fragmenting your stuff with minor variations (like making something plural half the time).
No, that doesn't answer my questions. I've been through the tour numerous times and it's rather too minimalist - which either means there's a small feature set, or the author of Pinboard isn't marketing minded
IMHO, it makes no sense to pay to bookmark other people's websites/URLs. As a least minimum, you can keep your bookmarks to yourself in your own browser. It is however another matter if you are paying to acquire additional features which your browser doesn't provide by default.
