I have spent entirely too much time the past few weeks adding and tagging my favorite web destinations and findings in delicious. It’s incredibly handy, particularly when I see something that I’d like to read but don’t have time to focus on in-depth immediately. I can bookmark it with a few keywords and find it again later. I’ve also lost hours to browsing the bookmarks of users who’ve either marked the same sites that I did or use similar tags. It’s like my first exposure to IMDB all over again! I just kept clicking and couldn’t stop.
As part of Exercise #5, I also looked at diigo, and I like the web notes and highlighting. I exported all my delicious bookmarks into diigo and was excited to find that I could set it to post new bookmarks added to diigo back to delicious. Well, that didn’t work. Apparently, there’s a glitch that won’t allow diigo to accept Yahoo IDs as delicious logins. So, I’m trying to see if I want to come up with a workaround or commit only to one or the other.
