bookmark) websites and record corresponding notes so you can keep track of all
the useful sites you find online (for art or any other categories!). One of my
favorite features of these two sites is that they allow you to search the
“community members” tags for websites. I have found that these two
searches tend to be FAR more accurate and relevant then regular search engines
like google or bing since people are recording information for their own purposes.

I cannot express how big of a life-saver
this was for me during my senior year of college when I had an insane amount of
research to do. Diigo allows you to make the most of your time and conveniently
NOT have to waste paper and printer ink. Instead you can copy paste your sticky
notes and / or highlighted portions of the page and print only the important
stuff you need. Volia ! So if you haven’t jumped on the band-wagon and joined
diigo or delicious I highly recommend you at least take a look around the
sites. Who knows it might just be your new favorite site!
