I love pinboard! I started out with delicious until it got bought and got weird, then I moved to Google bookmarks but it's so crude. I need something that follows me on every machine. The magick is in being able to add tags.

The irony is that Pinboard really is the rightful heir of del.icio.us, not Delicious.com.

I'm so curious.. I don't use pinboard, but everyone says it's awesome. What's so good in it?

It's no frills, just works, saves a cached version of the page when you bookmarked it, doesn't change in any way that is going to surprise you, did I say it just works?

I've wondered the same.. I actually subscribed to see what the hype was about; after using it for a few weeks I found it hard to justify the cost for such a simple and relatively featureless webapp

I actually gave up just a few weeks ago on Delicious (I have 15k+ bookmarks there, but it gets too slow too often) and moved to Pinboard.

Exporting from Delicious into Pinboard was done in a few minutes.

Pinboard is just like Delicious but faster and more responsive, I am willing to pay $10.61 for that.

And I actually paid for archive option not because I particularly need it but because I like the idea of supporting a lean one person operation.

Only thing Pinboard is missing(just like Delicious is missing) is quick filling in of suggested tags.

Also, for some reason Pinboard suggests IFTTT tag almost every time. I only use IFTTT sparingly.

I only paid one up-front fee of about $10.00. It isn't subscription-based. That is stated quite clearly on the home page. Be sure you go to http://pinboard.in/ and not one of their rivals.
