Sending Google Reader Items to Pinboard

posted on 2009-09-08 - amd.im/iGHo

I 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!
