    Perhaps the best bookmarking service available! BUT it isn't really an alternative to Pinterest for people looking for a social bookmarking service or for a social image boarding service. If you're just looking for a personal bookmarking service, then it's the best.

    Pinry is a good Pinterest alternative. However, it is self-hosted, which means you will need to know how to configure the software to work on your own server. The advantage is that you then keep control of your data. Excellent project.
