Bookmarking site Pinboard has announced that effective January 1st, 2015, it will discontinue the one-time signup fee and instead offer a $11/year plan, as well as the existing $25/year archival plan.
However, anyone who is an existing member, or who signs up before January 1st, will be grandfathered in.
As someone who has 32,000 bookmarks in Pinboard of articles I found of interest, I would recommend the service. It is flexible enough to be whatever you want it to be.
For me, as an archival customer, it is a record of every online source I read and found of interest that I know will be there(as it is archived on the Pinboard server). I can search that for any article I remember reading.
Other people use it in other ways. It can be social, it can be a Read It Later service…I used to use a Read It Later service, when what I really wanted was an archive.
So, if you are interested, give it a try before the price goes up.
