Kippt is really good for any type of bookmark.

I made my site http://pineapple.io specifically for all my development bookmarks. Since then it's grown to be quite a nice awesome database. I moderate it really heavily for quality, so if you skim all 100 pages I guarantee you will find tons of hidden gems.

Thank you for Pineapple, it's such a wonderful resource, plus the design is really great. Did you design and develop it yourself?

Yessir! Did the entire thing myself :)

By the way... This may seem crazy but I knew I recognized your name. Someone registered with your same username 6 months ago. Heh. Sometimes my memory is awesome, and other days I can't remember what I did the day before.

Very impressive, it would be very easy to pass the site off as something that had an entire team of people behind it, everything is so well polished. Do you have any long term plans for it?

That's me! Found it when you posted on reddit (http://redd.it/yh6w3) :D

I have put my blood sweat and tears into it. Ever since being a kid I've always wanted a site that lots and lots of people use.

My dream is coming true. It's extremely 'dear' to me, and as such I'm continually developing it and trying to make the best possible experience for users. There's a lot of content out there and I wanted a place to only show the GOOD stuff, not the 1000's of pages of crap.

Long term goals are still in the air as far as my plans, but it definitely will be with me for the long term, that's for sure :)

"While Pineapple doesn't intend to be the next Facebook (whew!),"

What about the new Yahoo!? didn't know it but I'll give it a try :)

I really like pineapple as well!

Did you scratch roll it or build off an existing framework?

Do you have any interest in making it available for reuse?

It appears to be built using Ruby on Rails.
