This is interesting, I'm also using Pinboard (with some custom ruby code for caching) to power my fairly popular Bootstrap links page [1].

Pinboard has been awesome for this and a few other projects where I use it as a sort of URL import / processing queue. I have a specific set of tags that trigger different actions for the different services, things like taking a screenshot of a URL or posting the link to Twitter via IFTTT (which has good Pinboard support).

That's cool. I hadn't thought of using a tag for this. As I said below in another reply, I just don't fill in the extended text or I mark an article as private in order to keep it out of the feed. A tag seems like it might be better though. Thanks for the comment.
