The fact that there's an android app (PowerNote) which syncs with Diigo is of course a powerful incentive to use it all the more.
Evernote is another useful tool, to keep track of all manner of action-lists and memos:-

But let's get back to those favourites. Whittaker's recent Diigo links include these:-
- Burns Scotland - http://www.burnsscotland.com/ (does what it says, authoritatively and without kitschy tartan gimmickry)
- Book Riot - a blog about books - http://bookriot.com/
- Scottish Music Centre - Opportunities and Competitions page:- http://www.scottishmusiccentre.com/competitions/
- Khan Academy - have you heard about 'Flipping the classroom'? Online teaching using YouTube and student-led learning, as advocated by Salman Khan:- https://www.khanacademy.org/ (The Whittaker Library is buying Khan's book - we'll tell you when it arrives.)
- Fresh on the Net - share your tracks here! http://freshonthenet.co.uk/submit/ Tom Robinson tells you about the scheme here:-
"This blog grew up out of a radio show called BBC Introducing: Fresh On The Net (read more) which I hosted on BBC 6 Music from October 2007 to April 2012. Through the show I encountered many gifted individuals who shared my enthusiasm for new music and a dozen of them have now joined me here online under the name Team Freshnet. Our mission remains the same: to promote independent music making in all it forms – and to connect listeners with new music and musicians with new listeners."
