I've become a fan of Pinboard.in. In particular, I love the ability to automatically create bookmarks from my Instapaper and ReadItLater lists and Twitter favorites.
Even before the Ma.gnolia debacle, I've made sure to have a redundant bookmarking system. Diigo's a great choice. It's lesser known than Delicious, but it does tricks Delicious doesn't.
You can annotate web pages as well as save a snapshot of the page. Diigo's big on collaboration and is a hit in the Education circles. (I'm less a fan of the collaborative annotations.)
It has extensions for Google Chrome, Firefox and IE and a most-excellent bookmarklet (the Diigolet) for everywhere else or if you want to go sans-toolbar. (The Diigolet works great on the iPhone, too.)
To enable this cross-posting to Delicious:
- From Diigo go to Tools | Save to Delicious.
- Enter your Delicious username and password.
Every time you bookmark a site using the Diigo toolbar (or Diigolet), it's also added to your Delicious bookmarks--tags included! (Don't worry, it doesn't add private bookmarks to Delicious.)
To then get it from Delicious to Pinboard:
- From Pinboard go to Settings.
- Add your username under Delicious "Auto-add bookmarks that appear in this del.icio.us account"
Voila! Your bookmarks are now duplicated in 3 places!
To summarize:
In Diigo, enable "Save to Delicious." In Pinboard, select "Auto-add bookmarks that appear in this del.icio.us account."
