I don't treat bookmarks as a list of sites. I treat them as a list of jumping-off points for any kind of resource whatsoever. Everything I come across that I might want to be able to find my way back to goes into Pinboard as a bookmark. The full-text indexing feature means it's my own personal search engine of (most things) I've ever seen. I imported my previous bookmarks, which go back to 1994. Everything I come across that I will likely want to go back to and digest later goes into Pinboard as a bookmark set to 'unread'. When I have some time to relax, catch up, and read, I open my list of unread bookmarks and work backwards. Or I skip back a month, or a year, or several. It's amazing what I'm reminded of. Sometimes I decide I don't care any more and delete or just keep links as bookmarks, but more often than not I'll go and read whatever it was I'd left as a gift for future me. |
