Delicious

I really like the information in Delicious.  Delicious has been around a long time, and has had a technical audience following for quite sometime.  This means that there is quite history of data that I can find there. I can look up some technical information and  some one has already done the work of finding me some of the better articles on the topic… sweet!  Another plus is that a number of my friends also have accounts on Delicious, and since we trade ideas together and are of like minds,  it is nice to see what they are thinking of and I’m sure the opposite is true as well.

Delicious also plays nice with my appreciation of the old art of web design where there is a minimalist site that doesn’t use images or videos.  My delicious page comes up real quick on my browser.

Because of these items I use delicious as my “web 2.0″ search engine.

Diigo 




Although fairly new to the social networking scene, Diigo offers me a few things the others do not.





1. Diigo, unlike other sites allow users to add comments to each web site.  When you search for a site you can see and create annotations on the site that can be shared with others.  In this way you can collaborate your favorites, and annotate the pages.  I have used this feature more as a lurking feature right now, but the collaborative nature of this feature within a group appeals to me, and I would like to see how it might work with a specific group.

• Very neat client feature that plays happy into my love for tools that allow me to save things both to the network and to my computer.  It has a feature that each time I add a bookmark to Diigo using the Diigo toolbar, it adds the favorite to my IE favorites.
  
• One thing they Diigo which was different and is fairly new to Delicious is private bookmarking.  This features allows you to share certain bookmarks and allow others to be private.
  
• Bookmarks added to Diigo can automatically be added to my Delicious site.  Well that just about makes this combination of tools almost perfect.
