It was a foundation of my sharing scheme – whenever I liked some article, I pressed Shift-S (or used Share in Reader bookmarklet) and thanks to appropriately configured tools given link was forwarded to linkroll on my Polish blog, my Twitter, my Facebook, and other social networks.

I looked for replacement for some time, and finally decided to build the process on the basis of the bookmarking service – Pinboard in this case, but other bookmarking services should do too if they support per-tag RSS, and some API returning links tagged with specific tag.

To verify this claim (well, building my own blog with - say - Django or Pylons is a tempting idea), I dumped notes of what my current blog software is doing for me.

When I was young, I was taught: don’t praise yourself, if you are worth it, others will do, if you are not, you may make people laughing (and referred to Luke 14:7–11).

But it inspired me to write about some other bar, which in my opinion really deserves to be called awesome. This one:

The article is interesting, but – as many monolithic vs component-based comparisons – misses one very important point.

It has two important consequences.
