5008 on Pinboard, many thousands more in Instapaper.
I either find a use for them at some point, or I don't. Doesn't bother me if I don't as I'm not trying to process everything I come across, just putting them in a trusted system where I could find them again if I needed to.
I do find it useful if I have a personal research project in an area of interest to start searching with what I already have vs. going to Google. Most of the links I have are vetted either by me or a source I trust so they don't have a bias to who has good on page SEO.
