Shout out to the guy that runs pinboard. He posts here sometimes (regularly? Rarely? Often?), and goes into his experience running a site like that by himself.

`idlewords, but that's that got to do with Pinterest?

  • The comment I replied to noted "they are popular because they are pretty much the only ones in that pretty specific space" while referring to Pinterest. Pinboard is a competitor, is it not? Not at the same scale, of course, but it is an alternative, a paid on at that, and is successful.

    • I guess I don't think of them as competitors. They're both social bookmarking sites but the interface and the way people use them seem very different.
