Diigo is still my Bookmarking Tool
January 18th, 2009 12:51 amTwo and a half years ago, I blogged about a new bookmarking service that I had started using call Diigo. Well, I’m still using it. You can view my profile and my bookmarks, if you want. What I really love about this service is not all of the “social” aspects of it. I love being able to mark pages that are interesting to me but that I don’t have time to read at the time.
Along those same lines, I just recently discovered a Firefox Add-on called Read It Later. You can add links to this specialized bookmark tool, sort of a holding place for links you want to visit later. It has some interesting features like being able to click multiple links on a page to add to your “read it later” list, without having to following those links. You can then “check off” the links as you read them.
There’s a danger in storing your bookmarks in too many locations. Diigo also allows you to mark bookmarks as “unread”. But I could see this tool being useful for articles that I want to read sometime, but don’t necessarily ever want to come back to. Who knows?

You may want to take a look at Hordit.com. Not only can you store bookmarks and files and notes and…. all in the same spot, but there’s a “Look Later” list for dropping things you don’t have time to read right now, a “Daily Read” for the sites/blogs you read regularly, an article filtering tool and more.

I will definitely take a look when I have some time. It sounds cool. I’ve always been a little leery of the file storage/backup services, but as a bookmarking tool, it might fit the bill. Particularly the RSS feed management sounds promising. I don’t subscribe to a lot of feeds, but I think I would more if I found a really good feed manager. Thanks for the tip!

By the way, I’ve marked the site in my “Read It Later” list.
