That's a lot of space, but those archived pages have come in handy a number of times now.

I'm glad to hear it! To me you're not even a blip; there's people with nearly a quarter TB of stuff...

oh geez. would be cool to see their tag taxonomies. Are there any public ones you could point to? I'm betting/hoping most of those folks have everything tagged "six ways from sunday" to make the data useful.

most of the heaviest users are people who just pipe everything in from somewhere else, so the largest collections are least usefully tagged

bleh! That.... that just seems pointless. But whatever. Makes them happy. Makes you money. I want my bookmarks to be useful stuff I can quickly access and reference. :)

Sometimes I feel bad that I don't tag my stuff as doggedly as I did in the delicious days, but pinboard has search that pretty much does the job. That the search can be constrained to things I once saw is a pretty useful implicit tag, I guess.

I use the search to search for tags 99% of the time because there's no guarantee the pages will include that keyword (or a stemmed variant) but there is a guarantee that anything on that topic will have the tag I'm using. Then i use other tags to narrow down results if needed.

Yeah, though search is mostly good enough for me. And my brain seems to retain enough keywords to remember what other things the stuff I saved might have contained, so I tend to find things often enough to have made me lazy in tagging ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The diversity of tagging behavior is remarkable. When I describe Pinboard in response to "what do you do for a living?" questions from non-technical people, I tend to describe it as "google for stuff you've seen". But I respect the taggers, especially the collaborative ones
