Social Bookmarking

I have to say I have been using delicious
for a long time now. I have 753 sites saved to my account right now as I type this blog!!! Yikes.. I guess you can say I have a problem. I love to "web mine". I save everything. I have absolutely no method to my madness and my tags are all over the place. I tried one day for about 2 hours to organize all of my tags, but the process is long and tedious. Feel free to take a look around my delicious account. I would love to share and become part of your social bookmarking sites. I just found a great organizing blog piece when I looked over the delicious network page. I have Jeff and Royce Robertson listed in my network right now. It is a blog about not letting your PLN (Personal Learning Network) get the best of you on 2cents worth.

I use my delicious account a lot in the classroom. I can open it up on the LCD projector and find the site I was working on that night before, because I posted it to my delicious account.

I know another computer teacher I work with uses delicious with her students. She give s them her account and they are sent there to look up different websites. This helps to prevent web surfing in her classroom. It is almost like a web field trip!

I just signed up for diigo today, just to take a look. Not sure if I want to give up my delicious account, but I think the highlighting of the website is a cool idea. Yet something else to factor into my daily computer surfing rituals!

Which one is better?? Diigo or Delicious? Anyone else use something different?

The pros are that you are saving your bookmarks to a website program and they can be accessed from anywhere anytime.. I am not sure of any cons, unless their server ever goes down and I lose everything.. I shutter to think that will ever happen.. now I am going to find a way to export those babies!

I hope you all use one of these services. It is one of my favorite web 2.0 tools yet.
