#4Bravo to the decrease in downtime despite the increase in storage usage and diversity of active users like myself.
It looks like since I joined a couple years ago user acquisition has slowed down a bit, and the cost of operations might have gone up per active user.
2011 bookmarks/active user = 27M/16k = 1688 per user
2012 bookmarks/active user = 53M/23k = 2304 per user
2011 bytes archived/active user = 3.0T/16k = 197 megabytes per user
2012 bytes archived/active user = 5.9T/23k = 269 megabytes per user
2011 unique URLs/active user = 16M/16k = 1000 per user
2012 unique URLs/active user = 32M/23k = 1391 per user

#5It's interesting to contrast this post with all the posts about multi million dollar funding rounds currently on the front page.

#6Pinboard has been nothing but a pleasure to use, for me and those I've introduced to it. I have to say that Maciej's joyful, honest, and frequent engagement with his users is a big part of that.

As an example, I remember the first time I misguidedly asked him if he used salted hashes for his passwords. He responded (and this was publicly, on Twitter) that yes, he did, but that it was nothing to be proud of, actually, and that he was going to be implementing bcrypt. It was from him that I belatedly learned how to properly store passwords.

#8The best overall bookmarking experience I've ever had, in the browser or out.
Perfect? Of course not. More than good enough? Yes.
Try it.

#9I still can't believe this model is working for this guy. $230k in 2 years is not bad for a paid-only service that people can find elsewhere for free.

Where can you find bookmarking with archiving for free? (don't say archive.org)
You have to add the $25/year archival users to that number too.
