I finally decided which social bookmarking tool I would use to do my daily lunchtime links posting.
Diigo
Diigo rocks! It is like Clipmarks meets Del.icio.us.
They call it “social annotation.”
You can bookmark, clip, sticky-note, and highlight. And then share.
You can even share your annotated links, so someone else can view what you highlighted on a [...]
This morning, the Burlington (VT) Free Press had an article about the state’s standardized test scores.

Wouldn’t you know it? I finally get around to installing WordPress 2.3.2 and now there is a new “urgent security release,” WordPress 2.3.3.
Oh well. The big security risk is for multiple users, so it doesn’t affect me.
