I think both delicious and diigo are great tools for saving web pages and sites. I used to save sites and web pages in folders but there was no way to search or organize them and I just ended up with a lot of information that wasn’t searchable. I really like the interface of delicious and thought it was the best until I started using diigo. Diigo is really more useful because you can highlight parts of the site and add your own notes, so that you don’t have to search the site to remember what you thought was useful about the site to begin with. Click here to see my delicious site and here to see my diigo site.
I plan to use both my delicious and diigo sites as teaching tools to illustrate social bookmarking at our next faculty meeting on how to use Web 2.0 tools. Very few teachers in our school are familiar with social book marking, so these sites will be great to illustrate how to save, search and use all this electronic information.
