Help Me Obi-Wan Friends List

I'm wondering if I should get a Pinboard account. (http://pinboard.in/)

At the moment I just do all my bookmarking in Firefox, and then export a subset of that to my Links Page on my site every now and then (using a combination of a plugin, a web-dav server, and a script I wrote myself). It's okay, there are pros and cons to it. Even though Firefox has bookmark tagging, it's really not very friendly, so I just organize them by folders. Doing my bookmarks in Firefox and on my site means that I have control of them. But it would be nice to be able to have publicly available bookmarks that have nicer tagging features. (Yes, I investigated various bookmarking web applications but they were all more painful to set up or use than simply using Firefox's native bookmarking).

Now, I know that many fans have adored Delicious bookmarking (which I never used, myself) and also that Delicious has gone downhill since it was taken over. Hence, my question: should I get a Pinboard account? Anybody here use it? What are the pros and cons?
