A year with Diigo
I’ve just finished exporting my bookmarks from Diigo and will be moving back to Delicious to keep my bookmarks. I’m not thrilled by this, but I think it works out better for me in the long run. I’m leaving Diigo only reluctantly, after a year of using it in classes and on my own. I [...]
