I use both Delicious and Diigo on a regular basis in my work. They are attached to my favourites bar for quick access. Whenever I am doing research for teachers and find a great site it only takes a moment to put the link in Delcious and Diigo.
I was concerned at the start of the year as it looked like Delicious was about to be discontinued, (this has since changed). With this in mind I transferred my links to Diigo as a backup. When you rely on cloud computing you need to be flexible and realise that information is not always safe and secure. A plus for holding links on the web, is that you have access to your links regardless of which computer you are accessing.
I have been using Diigo more recently as I like the list feature available. Within this I have created lists of links for Year 11 Legal Studies and Year 10 Rites as just 2 examples. It is then easy to give the students in these classes the links and they have a list of checked sites. I have also managed to convince a couple of teachers to set up their own sites. The share feature is wonderful, as i can share a useful link with relevant teachers. Saves a lot of double handling.
