Social book marking
Similar to photo sharing, social book marking has the same concept, accept now we are sharing general information. We are sharing things that we find interesting or appealing to someone we may know. Social book marking is a step up from just plain book marking a page. Now we don’t have to send dead links to friends we can share from the site. I am currently trying Diggo. This social bookmarking site struck my interest because of the ability to highlight certain items on a page. Not just being able to bookmark a site but also the content that you found interesting.

I had tried Yahoo Bookmarks up until this point. I will have to look at Diggo as well. Emphasizing specific parts of a bookmark sounds intriguing if one wishes to create a personal and/or professional link collection.
I also like the idea of being able to highlight information on a page rather than just referencing a page. I chose to use del.icio.us mainly because it seemed the most likely to survive in the long term because of it large market share at the present. I'd like to see a service that shows thumbnails of the page or section of a page in addition to the link.
There are so many good tools - the trick is to incorporate them into your world.
I wanted to sign up for Diigo, too, because of the highlighting feature. However, when I signed up, it said that I had to go check my email to activate the account. When I went in to check my email, I received nothing from Diigo. I want back to Diigo to have it resent as well as send to another email, yet I had no success. So I gave it up and just went with another one. I didn't want to take the time to contact Diigo- frankly, I just don't have the time. Did everything turn out okay for you? Were you able to create an account?
Vickie I had the same problem but it seems to be working now. Stephen I think Del.icio.us is the most commonly uses and most compatible with all sites.
