Nothing ground breaking here - I imagine most readers here already use most of the author's models - but this is a nice comprehensive list, which I have not seen before.

Curation is a valuable activity. Like you, I'm happy to see this list.
Does anyone have a pointer to a list of these lists? Would be interesting to know what models people use on a day-to-day basis, like usesthis.com for the brain.
I've started keeping such a list actually: [redacted]

Ah, that's the first actual pinboard page I've seen -- I've been looking at/for archival tools for some time, currently Pocket.
I'd recommend it. I was grandfathered into the free plan but $11/year seems fair.
Regardless of what you settle on I'd look for the equivalent of http://www.packal.org/workflow/alfred-pinboard for whatever service and platform you use. Being able to instantly search through all fields of all items in your archive is pretty great and has changed the way I work.

Pocket has comprehensive search, which is pretty slick. The tagging feature leaves much to be desired, though it's also far better than Readability.
