New Pinboard Things

[murklins]

So much excellence on Pinboard recently!

1. URL pages now list all the people who have bookmarked a page, and include their tags, description and date saved. (Interestingly, my Date Lines script now seems to work nicely on URL pages thanks to the update, but if you use Sort Visible Links you should update to the latest version of the script to prevent it from trying -- and then failing -- to work there.)

2. Public profile pages! (Well, public to anyone logged into Pinboard.) Enable your profile by going to settings->privacy and choosing "Enable public profile". Then a link to your profile page will appear in the top nav menu, and you can go there to set up it up. Of particular interest to fandom: you can indicate your accounts on various websites, including LJ, Dreamwidth and AO3. AMAZING.

3. Check out the new Pinboard directory to see all the public profiles that have already been enabled.

I wonder if the public profiles will actually make people a little nervous. I've got a user who claims to be a 'conservative christian republican dentist' just a few users away from the gleekinkmeme's. :P This should be interesting.

Yeah, that directory page just throws everyone in together and makes the diversity of the user base really obvious.

I saw this last night and promptly went to enable my public profile. Loaded again just now about 12 hours later and the directory page length has quadrupled. WUNDERBAR. :D

So fast! Go public, Pinboarders, it's for the greater good!

Yessss. And while you're at it, make your networks public? :) Anything aiding discovery of people sharing interesting things!
