Del.icio.us hasn’t been posting my daily links for a few weeks – I guess there’s some kind of upgrade going on over there. So I’ve finally (and happily) jumped ship to Diigo, which should post a daily post tonight. In the meantime, here’s everything from del.icio.us that didn’t get posted here, including some real gems. Enjoy.
Note: I imported all my bookmarks from del.icio.us to diigo already – and then just cut and paste this list into ScribeFire and cleaned it up. I have a new favorite blogging tool now, too. ;)

- Exclusive: Google Translate comes to the iPhone – Crave at CNET.co.uk GCT Eric Marcos tipped me off to this by posting that “Google Translator for the iPhone has a sleek new look, and I like it! On the iPhone, go to google.com, click “More” to get to the Translator.” So I sought out the story and shared it here.

- Free Video Chat and Video Conferencing from ooVoo Jenith Mishne sent me a link to this, but I haven’t tried it yet.
