I have stuck with Delicious till now, but the YouTube founders have decided to take it in a different direction away from its core bookmarking function. I know Pinboard exists, but I can't afford a paid solution now. Does anyone know of a free service which does the same thing? All I am looking for is an extension to sync with Chrome and ability to tag my bookmarks.
In my eyes, the only viable replacement for del.icio.us is Pinboard <a href="http://www.pinboard.in/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pinboard.in/</a>. I was an active user of del.icio.us and I moved everything to pinboard <a href="http://www.pinboard.in/u:adulau" rel="nofollow">http://www.pinboard.in/u:adulau</a> (especially when del.icio.us killed the simple (and surprisingly useful) network feature).<p>Pinboard understood from the early beginning that regular users of bookmarking tend to prefer text-based and useful feature compared to "stack" of meaningless data. By the way, I don't get why the new delicious introduced stack of info when you can use a tag for it...<p>Maybe pinboard is for the power users who like tagging and the objective of the new delicious is to attract people doing "stacks" of meaningless images.
How about Google Bookmarks? <a href="https://www.google.com/bookmarks/" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/bookmarks/</a><p>Requires a Google account, but free beyond that.
