BYOL Diigo Session | BlogWalker

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 14:16:38 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

Alice Mercer and Jennifer Dorman are leading this hands-on Diigo session.

Diigo = critical literacy tool. Use for reflective writing. When searching a topic, use Diigo instead of Google to provide students with previewed, reviewed sites.

Classroom idea: set up a “tag” dictionary - it’s one of the options available when you create Diigo groups. Makes for easy evaluation: search a tag and then you’ll see which students have annotated the site.

Concept of tagging vs. concept of list - You can switch list into slideshow presentation of the websites you have chosen from Diigo. The pages are “live,” not just images.

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 14:11:52 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

Diigo is better than all the others. I dont know how to explain it, but it just does more. You can highlight, comment, share, twitter, etc. It has a great tool bar, too. Mostly, I hate add on tool bars, but this one is actually easy to use.

The Thin Line » Blog Archive » I’m a Diigo convert

Mon, 16 Jun 2008 16:46:05 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

Today I discovered Diigo. Diigo is a bookmarking tool like del.icio.us, only, in my opinion it is vastly superior. Instead of just bookmarking, you can select a chunk of text in the page, and attach a sticky note to it. When you return to that page later on, there’s your sticky note waiting for you. Hugely useful for doing research. Yes they’re in direct competition with del.icio.us, but they’re also smart enough not to make you completely ditch del.icio.us: you can easily set up your Diigo account so that any bookmark you save to Diigo will be cross-posted to your del.icio.us account.

Check out my Diigo profile if you’re interested.

Oh, and this blog entry was written from within Diigo.

C&I 401 - Week 2: Delicious & Diigo « Cycling Through Ed Tech

Fri, 30 May 2008 21:13:44 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

I’m going to introduce Delicious and Diigo - they are now best friends and quite closely linked.

Another tool to help save websites is Diigo. What I like about Diigo is all the functions it offers. For instance, if I see a site I’d like to send to you I can highlight portions and even add a note (like a Post-it), then I can email it to you. Very cool. I also like the social networking tools - you can create groups and then leave messages for one another. It’s much like Facebook or MySpace interactivity. By the way, if you have a Delicious account, then you can set Diigo up to send all your newly saved sites to Delicious - they work well together.

Recruiting and Sourcing Secrets: TOP 10 WAYS TO SOURCING / RECRUITING - FREELY

Fri, 30 May 2008 20:31:04 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

TOP TEN WAYS TO SOURCING / RECRUITING - FREELY

1) Diigo

Stop adding your favorite links to your browsers.. thats soooo archaic.
From the words of my friend Michael Marlatt " With the massive amount of information available or for surfing the web, sourcing for resumes or conducting competitive intelligence, the question is: How do you capture all this wonderful data, create online sticky-notes (reminders), keep it all organized, easily retrievable, simultaneously share (real-time) content with peers or an entire community, and oh by the way do this without your personal computer from anywhere in the world? One answer: Diigo.

By accessing ANY available computer, Diigo can offer its users all this functionality and much more. Yeah, I suppose someone out there could quickly argue that there are easily hundreds of other book-marking sites, online clipping services, etc. that offer similar functionality-right? That’s true to some extent; however, you will not find one that currently offers the full suite of solutions and rich functionality that Diigo offers and is still (free). Or, you might say, there's always book-marking favorites in your browser (old-school) and creating "bookmarklets" so why use Diigo? Hey, let’s be honest, setting up bookmarklets are helpful but the on-going filing and maintenance can be exhaustive especially if you have 100's (if not 1000's) of favorite sites stored in your browser.
Diigo will simply your web surfing, data collection, content management, and group-collaboration experience in a way that no other social bookmarking application can right now. " I need not say anymore.

about effectiveness of linkedin as a recruiting tool especially after using Linkedin recruiter but its still a great tool for networking, branding (your self /your co)
One of the foremost thing you could do would be to get
-)Get connected to super connectors
MyLink500.com and TopLinked.com have names & links t

Diigo. An Indispensable, Free Tool For Knowledge Workers

Fri, 30 May 2008 15:16:57 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

Our clients spend a lot of time researching and sharing information with others. And Diigo - pronounced “dee-go” - has proven an invaluable tool in making that happen across timezones and travel schedules.

It all begins with a simple to install browser add-on that allows you to highlight portions of web pages that are of particular interest to you. You can also attach sticky notes to specific parts of web pages. That’s been done before but perhaps not with as much elegance. There’s something nice about returning to a web page you visited weeks ago and finding the notes you left yourself right there.

Where the product really shines is in collaboration. Links, notes and annotations can be shared with your team on a granular basis. Which means that what you share with your boss doesn’t have to be shared with your vendors. You will want to pay close attention to how you set up your profile however. The defaults user settings are “share with the world.”

There’s magic in a simple idea well-executed and Diigo has got it right.

Linden's Pensieve: Diigo: Paper-and-pen Mark-up Meets Web 2.0

Fri, 16 May 2008 23:31:38 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

Make way, Del.icio.us! Diigo is here, and it's changing the way people use and, in true Web 2.0 fashion, interact with the Internet.

If you like del.icio.us, you will love Diigo.

I will not be the first to say it, but Diigo is like del.icio.us on steriods. Diigo bookmarks your favorite sites, uses tags to classify your bookmarks, allows you to make bookmarks private or public. It can even automatically post your latest saves to your blog.

But Diigo provides innovative ways to interact with web sites.

Diigo lets you highlight text on a page and annotate it with sticky notes. As a PhD student in the 21st century, this innovation frees me from downloading and re-reading sites I use for my research on the internet. I use less paper and I save time.

Diigo also makes it more-than-easy to email a web site to a friend. I like Google Reader for the same reason, but Diigo out-shines even Google Reader. Highlight the text on a page that you want your friend to see and that text will be included when you email the page to them. Eliminates the "Huh? Why did she send me this link?" problem.

I generally shy away from using any service that requires me to download a tool bar, but the Diigo tool bar earned its keep quickly. The tool bar not only provides quick access to your Diigo dashboard, bookmarks, lists, groups, and contacts, but also makes for easy bookmarking, highlighting, commenting, and sending.

It's been called a supercharged social networking tool, a cut above del.icio.us, and "Diigo" has even been used as a verb. Even though I know I haven't discovered all the features, it's changed the way I interact with web pages.

Diigo-Social Bookmarking | Exploring Web 2.0

Fri, 09 May 2008 16:04:10 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

I have found that it is pushed my research into websites into a broader realm. I like how easy it is to save my favorites. I am able to place highlights on the site as well as sticky notes. I can form groups to share sites and discuss the common goal of the group.

I would like to use it as a place to discuss a book that we will be reading. I think it will be a good place for researching the topic and discussing the topic.

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

Diigo - Supercharged Social Networwking Tool

Well I've just got on to Diigo and I guess it will take a while to play with all the features and explore, but it looks really exciting.

Yes, Diigo is another one - a social networking tool/site. But this one is different. It is more of an Internet Research tool.

And for those like me who spend a lot of time picking up scraps of info here and there on the net - Diigo is going to be invaluable.

Diigo: Survival of the Fittest ~ Highly recommended!!!

Tue, 06 May 2008 14:33:33 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

Darwin discovered natural selection, which went on to be made popular by Herbert Spencer as “the survival of the fittest.” Yesterday, I saw it being applied to Web 2.0. I have been a del.icio.us fan for some time now. del.icio.us is synonymous with social bookmarking, in fact, for all practical purposes, they invented it. In fact, I switched back from Firefox 3beta because there was no del.icio.us support.

Yet, del.icio.us never came out of Version 1 of this Web 2.0 phenomenon.

Along comes diigo. del.icio.us on steroids!

Changes the way you will use and share (and I really mean share) bookmarks. What they have done to social bookmarking is not rocket science, but they have done it. What they have done was never difficult, but being the one who does it first makes a lot of difference. I have happily switched from del.icio.us to diigo.com. And I am thrilled using it the last 18 hours.

Highly recommended!!!

Information and the Future: Diigo

Mon, 05 May 2008 17:39:22 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

At LOEX, I learned about a new tool called Diigo (www.diigo.com). It is similar to del.icio.us, but it allows users to add notes, bookmark and highlight. You can also send messages from it sharing links in Facebook, blogs, or twitter. They were recommending using it for research guides. This would allow students to personalize them. And librarians or faculty could add notes for specific classes.

Digital Passports » Have you joined the DEN Diigo group? Facebook Group? LinkedIn Group?

Wed, 30 Apr 2008 19:59:51 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

Diigo is a social bookmarking site that is really giving the current champion, del.icio.us, a run for its money. It does everything that del.icio.us does (including simul-posting to your current del.icio.us account!) and so much more. From highlighting on a page, to adding sticky notes, to sharing bookmarks with groups, it really turns websurfing from a passive experience to a highly active one. Jennifer Dorman created the DEN group in Diigo a little over a week ago and there’s already over 50 members!
