Diigo ~ more than a research tool - a knowledge sharing community. Easy-to-use and so powerful... Check it out!

Exploring what Diigo has to offer and am impressed with the annotating and bookmarking feature.

I have been meaning to write a post about Diigo for a while. I have used a number of social bookmarking sites. I use Diigo and Delicious all the time and have also used Google bookmarks and to a lesser degree StumbleUpon and tried Furl for a while.Delicious and Diigo are the two I used almost every day. I have linked Diigo to Delicious and so whenever I save something in Diigo it automatically goes into my Delicious account as well. I started using Delicious long before Diigo and so I had a lot of links and have also built up my network of other Delicious users. Delicious is very simple to use and get started. A lot of people have begun to use Delicious and I like to see what other people are bookmarking and to search via group keywords.So why do I use Diigo?  I like its ability to enhance my bookmarking with highlights and sticky notes, that are retained with the page when I go back to it.I like that you can highlight and publish easily from Diigo to you blog or an email, and a reference appears automatically along with the posting.I like the ability to create lists on specific topics that can be shared.I like the ability to create groups to pool resources for specific subjects. I recently joined a few Diigo groups and have had some very useful sites brought to my attention.I like that you can access and search the bookmarks anywhere by full-text and tags.I like to search for the most popular bookmarks on a particular subject.I like the different ways to share and aggregate information that  Diigo. I have set it up so that a list of my new bookmarks appears on this blog on a weekly basis but this is just one option. You can now choose to automaticallyThe tool bar is easy to download and makes it easy to use and aspect of Diigo whenever you are on line.Of course you can keep things private if you choose to but that is really defeating the purpose of Diigo in the first place.Diigo also began offering, on Sept 19th, a Diigo Education Account Facility. I haven’t investigated this yet ...

Ever been at home and wanted to use the bookmarks that you had at school.  Ever been at school and wished you could use the bookmarks you had at home.  With social bookmarking tools like Diigo you can do just that.  Although there are many different kinds of bookmarking site (Del.icio.us,  Digg.com, and  Furl.net just to name a few) we will be looking at Diigo. The Diigo bookmarking tool allow the users to not only bookmark the sites that they would use the most but they also allow the users to create groups, highlight important information, and leave messages for those that are part of their group.  Below is a video from youtube that explains Diigo.  In addition to the Bookmarking tool, I also suggest using the toolbar that is available.  It allows you to control Diigo from your browser instead of using the actual website.  So check it out, play around and discover the Internet in a whole new way.In using this application in the classroom I have found it to be useful in many ways.  It can show a group of students resources for a project.  It allows them to share not only the resources, but also allows them to leave a note to one another about what they found helpful.  It can give the students direction when searching for information on a homework assignment.  It could also give teachers the ability to share sites that are not only age appropriate but are “pre-approved” for finding specific information on an assignment.  Give it a shot and please let me know your thoughts.Lastly here is another video that explains social bookmarking extremely well and “in plain English”.  It use the Del.icio.us social bookmarking site but it does a very good job explaining it in general.
