Pinboard Blog

Plain-text Pasting Service

Yesterday we added notes to Pinboard. Notes are a way to bookmark arbitrary text. You enter an optional title, tags, and then paste whatever you like into a textarea. Pinboard will create a URL for the snippet and adds it to your bookmark collection. You can specify whether you want the bookmark to be private or visible to others.

We'll be adding some additional options to notes as time goes on, but for now we wanted to start simple and find out what people found most useful.

To try creating a note, visit http://pinboard.in/note/add/. Please let us know what you think on the Twitters or in the Google discussion group.
