Adding links to Pinboard

The best ways I know to add a link to Pinboard:

~ A bookmarklet by Jay Sitter. If you don’t use a bookmarks bar (I don’t), you can be sneaky and a create a bookmark for any page and change its name and URL. Or you can create a text-expansion shortcut to drop in the long line of JavaScript.

~ A Safari extension by Kristof Adriaenssens, bookmarker for pinboard.

If you’re me, it’s good to have both. I use the bookmarklet to inventory Orange Crate Art posts. I use the extension with a second account to save links for future reference.

I was going to recommend Mathias Lindholm’s free app Simplepin for iOS, but I just discovered that it’s been sunsetted and is no longer available in the App Store. Oh well.
