Pinboard
I just signed up for Pinboard after a long internal debate, and thank god. Very clean and simple compared to the hideous filler-content mess that Delicious turned into. I also think there's been fiddling since the Epic Fandom Feedback GoogleDoc of Doom happened, because there are tons of features that I've been longing for:
1) First and foremost, the global bookmarks page (i.e., the "231 saves" link that gives you a page with everyone else's reviews and tags in chronological order). I didn't know the site had this because it's not available to the public, but it magically appeared in the settings page and I clicked that tickybox so hard it hurt.
2) tag autocomplete!
3) listing tags in the order I added them, not REVERSE order FUCK YOU DELICIOUS THAT WAS WHAT BROKE ME.
4) tag clouds that don't suck and nest cleanly!
4) I figured out a way to export my Firefox bookmarks and upload them in batches by fiddling with the exported HTML file, which works with how I bookmark and pairs very nicely with...
5) the Organize function, which comes with a preview frame. So I can upload my monthly batch of newly-reads with timestamps from Firefox, then select the 'untagged' filter, click 'Organize', and flick through while I reread/delete/add descriptions without having to alt-tab between the windows and fuck with the bookmark properties.
6) bulk editing with actual functionality
7) oooh, there's a history feature. I am weak for those.
8) thepeople person who runs it seems to have a sense of humor and is fandom-friendly. The popular+fandom filter they set up pleases me. Let's hope the honeymoon lasts.
Sheesh, why did I wait so long?
...Well, okay, I was sticking with Delicious for two main reasons: inertia, and the community. I talked to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
airgiodslv last year about how I use bookmarking and try to be aware of the network factor, and let's face it, Delicious is still massive and fandom's primary bookmarking site despite its fuckups. Eventually, however, the complete loss of functionality defeated its usefulness to *me* as an easy way to locate, re-read and/or rec beloved stories. And honestly, I don't think anyone reads my Delicious except maybe Lindsey, and she gets all the best links through personal flail anyway.
Anyway. I'm excited about Pinboard! Let me know if you're on the site, I want to explore the subscription and network features some more.
For those of you who made it through the babble, have some animation-related recs:
Up inspired floating house built by National Geographic. Look at the little mailbox!
Stunning artwork of Disney Princesses in accurate period costume. I have no idea how actually accurate these are, but gee, they're pretty. Check out the artist's website, too, where she has Tiana in an awesome flapper dress and some Doctor Who art and a BAMF Harley Quinn costume redesign.
