I have been using Pinboard for some years now. Great, rock solid service. I currently keep ~2K bookmarks on Pinboard (http://pinboard.in/u:koevet) but I wonder if my usage pattern makes actual sense for me to keep on using it.

I mainly use Pinboard as a kitchen sink for articles and completely random stuff I stumble across. You can actually tell from my totally schizophrenic tag cloud. At some point I was using a custom made script that bookmarks Hacker News story I'd +. So now I have hundreds of "hackernews" tagged bookmarks which I NEVER access.

I rarely go to Pinboard to retrieve a bookmark, maybe 10 times a year. It's faster to Google and for the stuff I really need to go back to I have local bookmarks.

I'm also a heavy RSS consumer: for sites for which I like to be updated of new content, I use my self-hosted RSS reader, no need to use bookmarks.

I guess I will keep on storing away links, the service is cheap anyway.

Well if they're getting in your way, you can delete all of them and go to https://news.ycombinator.com/upvoted?id=koevet instead.

Indeed I wish there was a way for Pinboard to actually nudge me into looking at old links. Maybe a daily reminder like "hey, you pinned this some time ago and never looked at it since! Maybe you should give it a chance!".

I've written something like this. It's not a general service (since it would have to constantly pull stuff from pinboard), but you can run it on your own server https://github.com/gbirke/pin-this-day/
