del.icio.us?! What memories! I remember that when I discovered it I spent 24 hours labeling my markers, I think it was back in 2008. Since it disappeared I have been using firefox bookmarks, because of its ease to make backup copies, also yesterday I discovered that they can be tagged and those terms are included in the firefox search box, so far I am happy, but it is also not I use markers very often.

I second raindrop. It’s not quite perfect, but it’s really good, very affordable, and new features are released regularly.

Off-topic question-observation: I've been wondering lately why "new features are released regularly" is generally considered a boon when talking about software and specifically in a product that serves a relatively simple and clear-cut need like a bookmark stash. My TV does one job: it shows pictures really fast on a grid of pixels. Sure it's nice that, hardware permitting, support can be added for new media layer video protocols over time (the marvel of software), but I don't need it to be getting entirely new features to be happy. It's kinda nice that it just sits there and does its job. It does it so well that I keep coming back to the brand for new models as needed.

pinboard.in but Maciej appears to be offline (?) at the moment and archiving is a bit broken (for me). Hope he's OK.

IIRC Maciej even bought del.icio.us

Pocket doesn't seem good for anything that's not long text.

I mean, Pocket is great, one of the reasons I like Kobo readers is Pocket integration, and I prefer to read the articles in Pocket interface instead of the original.

But for things like YouTube videos, or comments in forums, etc., Pocket is not the best place to store these URLs long term.

Maciej announced on twitter that he would be taking the year 2022 off [1]. I have not had any issues with pinboard but I also only use it occasionally.
