Pinboard tags again

Tags for Pinboard, the social bookmarking site, can once again be viewed by readers without a Pinboard account. Maciej Cegłowski has added a CAPTCHA to allow access to tags for real readers and cut traffic from the AI bots harvesting the Internets.

Wanna see, say, every OCA “How to improve writing” post? Have at it. Just click in the middle of the blue box and you’ll see links to posts.

I’ve been using Pinboard since 2010 to make an index of blog posts, and I’m happy to see it working for all readers again. Raindrop.io, for me, is just too cumbersome.

[And yes, people come to these pages via Pinboard, and head off to Pinboard via links here.]
