Sending Google Reader Items to Pinboard
September 8th, 2009I just started using Pinboard as an alternative to my previous use of Delicious and Instapaper.
One cool thing that I was able to work out (that I had trouble with using Instapaper) is using the new Send To feature in Google Reader, I can now send links directly to Pinboard as unread items or bookmarks.
The Pinboard blog has basic instructions for sending as bookmarks:
Go to Settings, and then the “Send To” tab. Click the “Create Custom Link” and enter the following:
Name: Pinboard
Url: http://pinboard.in/add?url=${url}&title=${title}
Icon Url: http://pinboard.in/favicon.ico
But to send it as an unread item just requires changing the URL to:
http://pinboard.in/add?later=yes&noui=yes&jump=close&url=${url}&title=${title}
If you’re a Pinboard user, enjoy!
