How do you keep track of and share web resources?

How do you make sense of what you find on the Web? Do you organize and annotate bookmarks on Delicious? Have you joined a topic-based resource sharing group on Diigo? I keep a Delicious account and am a happy member of the project-based learning group on Diigo, hosted by Dean Groom. Are there other ways to organize and share? I'd love to know what you do.

Another one similar to Livebinders is Jog The Web. I know there is an extension for Firefox that goes with it. One nice thing it does is allow you to annotate a bit above the frame for the site, which can be helpful, though maybe more for use by a class than as a bookmarking tool.

Livebinders also allows layouts so you can annotate. I agree with you Jeff, I regard Livebinders and Jog the Web as good ways to group a smallish number of resources to share with other people.

As a central place for all my bookmarking needs (I have getting on for 2000 bookmarks!) I would not use those. Checking some of my Diigo lists this morning I was reminded that Diigo's webslides provide a nice way to present sites. See this for example - a Maths Challenge list.

I received an email today warning of the end of delicious and suggesting that I backup my delicious links. Not sure how true this is.

This news was all over the place the last couple of days, there is a link here somewhere. Yahoo will not be working with Delicious anymore. In the Delicious blog they say they are looking at options.

It is very simple to get all your Delicious bookmarks into Diigo. Backup is always good! How to do it here.

My reason for always automatically sending my Diigo bookmarks to Delicious is just that - more secure to have them in two places!
