10/4 at the ctl--Diigo and Delicious

Today I worked on Diigo and Delicious, mostly.  Primarily I learned about how to do bookmarking on Diigo.  I had signed up for the "Education" privileges on Diigo, so I have been receiving a stream of educational websites sent to my e-mail each day.  Today I went through those websites and decided which ones I wanted to bookmark to Diigo using the "Diigolet" function.  You can see which ones I chose at http://www.diigo.com/user/briandivine.

What's nice about Diigo is, in addition to the websites being sent to me free via e-mail, I can do searches for key articles/topics using tags-either ones that they suggest or that I create.

I set up an account at Delicious as well.   It's at http://www.delicious.com/BrianCLewis.  This site also involves bookmarking; I don't know as much about it yet, but it seems like the sites for Delicious come up right for the reader on the website, and the reader can pick and choose.

I could see my 1021 and 1022 students using Diigo or Delicious as a means of accumulating possible research sites for papers.  Not sure it would be as helpful to my English 0090 students.
