From a collection of bookmarks, you can indicate which web pages you’d like to include for your slide show, or just insert which websites you’d like to add. Use drag’n'drop technology to arrange and rearrange the order of your slides. </p> <p>You can leave “sticky notes” and highlights to indicate notes and further discussion around a particular area of a web page. This is useful for teams, as other team members can add to the sticky notes as well. There’s also the option of adding a voice over so your slide show can be narrated. Slide shows can be public or private, and shared with a select few. For viewers, the link to each web page displays at the bottom of the slide show, along with other viewing options for screen size, the list of slides in the show for easy navigation, and more. What this tool bar lacks is the option for viewers to grab the embed code, though creators have the option of sharing and embedding these slide shows.</p></div></p><p><div class="content"> I've personally had the opportunity to demo Diigo's new Webslide feature. I can personally attest that it's very easy-to-use and takes collaboration on the internet to a whole new level. Webslides allows users to showcase important data and information in a "real-time" session that does away with the traditional need to develop screen-shots pasted into a PPT presentation. Users can essentially turn any portion of internet into a PowerPoint show with a few easy clicks! <br /> <br /> Nice work Diigo!</div></p><p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/bookmark/tag/diigo">diigo</a> <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/bookmark/tag/review">review</a> <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/bookmark/tag/webslides">webslides</a> </p><p><strong>Posted by:</strong> <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/bookmark/maggie_diigo">maggie_diigo</a></p> Mon, 01 Oct 2007 14:48:38 -0000 http://www.downloadsquad.com/2007/09/06/webslides-browser-based-webpage-slideshows-video <p></p><p><strong>Highlights and Sticky Notes:</strong><p><div class="content"> Ever wondered how to create a guided tour for a website, or an easy slideshow of a selection of webpages? Unless you try and capture a series of screenshots, and them arrange them in something like Windows Movie Maker or iMovie, it's not exactly easy. Thankfully, you will soon be able to do such a thing online (with live-updating website views) as Diigo has previewed a new product called Webslides at the Office 2.0 conference.<br /><br />If you're wanting to know more about this rather nifty forthcoming tool, then read on as there's video and more after the break.<div align="center"> <div align="left"><br />How do you go about creating a presentation? <font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">According to Diigo, "users simply collect and organize any set of links into a list, and add background music or voice narration.

If you're wondering how on earth this could be useful, we'd highly recommend checking out the example movies found on the <a href="http://slides.diigo.com/">Diigo website</a> (such as this "<a href="http://slides.diigo.com/list/irisdd/funnyweb">Funny sites on the Web</a>" slideshow)</div></div></div></p><p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/bookmark/tag/diigo">diigo</a> <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/bookmark/tag/review">review</a> <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/bookmark/tag/webslides">webslides</a> </p><p><strong>Posted by:</strong> <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/bookmark/maggie_diigo">maggie_diigo</a></p> Mon, 01 Oct 2007 14:47:12 -0000 http://jebworks.wordpress.com/2007/09/06/webslides-converts-bookmarks-to-slideshows <p></p><p><strong>Highlights and Sticky Notes:</strong><p><div class="content"><p>I’ve been using Diigo for quite some time now to annotate, bookmark and share webpages. Now, they are offering a new functionality with the potential to become an even more effective tool to share knowledge in a great format as the video explains. </p> <p>Imagine collecting all your different web pages to research a vacation or group trip, annotate them, add voice commentary and then share them with friends or participants. Also, a travel agent could put together a collection of information and send it on in an attractive form to a client.</p></div></p><p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/bookmark/tag/diigo">diigo</a> <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/bookmark/tag/review">review</a> <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/bookmark/tag/webslides">webslides</a> </p><p><strong>Posted by:</strong> <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/bookmark/maggie_diigo">maggie_diigo</a></p> Mon, 01 Oct 2007 14:43:57 -0000 http://www.jeffro2pt0.com/webslides-bookmarking-of-the-future <p></p><p><strong>Highlights and Sticky Notes:</strong><p><div class="content"><p><a href="http://slides.diigo.com/" title="http://slides.diigo.com/" target="_blank"><img title="Webslides.com Logo" src="http://www.jeffro2pt0.com/images/webslideslogo.png" height="54" alt="Webslides.com Logo" width="225" /></a></p> <p>Monitoring my feeds, I’ve noticed there has been quite a bit of buzz surrounding a service called <a href="http://slides.diigo.com/">WebSlides</a>.

I initially could not imagine why I would want my bookmarks saved as slideshows, but I immediately saw the value of the app as a training tool. I could picture WebSlide users making a walkthrough of how to use a particular website, presenting the features of a new web service, or making a WebSlide show to be used in a classroom setting. WebSlides' value is not just in the way it lets you stitch together a series of web pages together to form a slideshow; it is the ability to add sticky notes, highlights, and integrated annotations to the slideshows that make the service so useful. In addtion, you can record and narrate tracks to go along with the slideshow or add music. </p> <p>Some other suggestions for the use of WebSlides, <a href="http://slides.diigo.com/">as noted on their site</a>, include:</p> <ul><li>Show a list of houses to real estate clients</li> <li>Review a list of job candidates found online</li> <li>Bundle important course resources for students</li> <li>Assemble all the pages on a specific family line</li> <li>Provide guided use cases for potential customers</li> <li>Share the favorite places you would like to visit with your friends and blog readers</li> <li>Provide a quick briefing, a simple tutorial or guided tour on any subject.</li></ul></ul></div></p><p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/bookmark/tag/diigo">diigo</a> <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/bookmark/tag/review">review</a> <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/bookmark/tag/webslides">webslides</a> </p><p><strong>Posted by:</strong> <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/bookmark/maggie_diigo">maggie_diigo</a></p> Mon, 01 Oct 2007 14:23:47 -0000 http://www.emergingearth.com/webslides-turns-bookmarks-into-slideshows <p></p><p><strong>Highlights and Sticky Notes:</strong><p><div class="content">Since most of my presentations are largely guided tours of pertinent Web services, this baby will save me a ton of time.

The students could view the websites with annotations by the teachers to support the students’ current level of understanding of the material or add additional information or questions to enhance the instruction.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> Students could then work in their groups to discuss their findings to their peers. This would allow students to come to their own conclusions from the information that they are presented. The assessment could be the presentation of their findings and conclusions via a posting to the class website or some other tool that would allow them to present what new ideas they synthesized and not a high tech presentation with little to no substance.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> Students would work in the same manner that other scientists around the world are by looking at the new data from research. The article was posted on the 20^th of this month, two days ago, and students could be researching about the discovery tomorrow the 23^rd. This changing of ideas also illustrates to students the way in which scientific knowledge changes and gets refined in light of new information from researchers.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> So could this lesson be taught without computer technology? Absolutely but technology allows the instruction to be much more fluid and connected. The teacher could run off all the articles, write on them and make copies for the class, but the exchange of information would likely not be as fluid.</p></div></p><p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/bookmark/tag/diigo">diigo</a> <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/bookmark/tag/education">education</a> <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/bookmark/tag/review">review</a> <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/bookmark/tag/webslides">webslides</a> </p><p><strong>Posted by:</strong> <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/bookmark/maggie_diigo">maggie_diigo</a></p> Mon, 01 Oct 2007 13:53:54 -0000 http://blogaboutyourblog.com/2007/09/24/a-cool-and-easy-way-to-show-off-blogs <p></p><p><strong>Highlights and Sticky Notes:</strong><p><div class="content">There are a few posts I’ve written here where I’ve mentioned the phenomenal bookmarking service call <a href="http://www.diigo.com"><strong>Diigo</strong></a>.

I use it all the time to save my bookmarks as well as make backup copies to two additional bookmarking sites at the same time.</p> <p>The folks at Diigo have gone one step further by introducing something called <a href="http://slides.diigo.com/" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outgoing/slides.diigo.com/');"><strong>WebSlides</strong></a>. There are a variety of reasons why you can use this free service, but the one I’m going to use it for the most is to highlight sites that I find for my blog readers.<br /> <span id="more-235"></span><br /> The presentations are simple to make. You select any site you’ve saved in your Diigo account and copy it to a WebSlides list. If you want, you can upload an audio file to accompany your set of slides as your viewers are watching. You can even leave comments or sticky notes on the sites for your viewers to read and they can do the same.</p> <p>I’ve explained more in my own presentation, so click the button below and take it for a spin.

Great job and thanks so much for including my site in this list!

I’ve just recently started including recorded audio (like in the Super Link Sunday Batch #2 post)with some of my posts as an experiment.

I initially could not imagine why I would want my bookmarks saved as slideshows, but I immediately saw the value of the app as a training tool. I could picture WebSlide users making a walkthrough of how to use a particular website, presenting the features of a new web service, or making a WebSlide show to be used in a classroom setting. WebSlides' value is not just in the way it lets you stitch together a series of web pages together to form a slideshow; it is the ability to add sticky notes, highlights, and integrated annotations to the slideshows that make the service so useful. In addtion, you can record and narrate tracks to go along with the slideshow or add music.</div></p><p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/bookmark/tag/diigo">diigo</a> <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/bookmark/tag/review">review</a> <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/bookmark/tag/webslides">webslides</a> </p><p><strong>Posted by:</strong> <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/bookmark/maggie_diigo">maggie_diigo</a></p> Mon, 10 Sep 2007 20:40:58 -0000 http://www.launchsquad.com/blogs/exclamation/2007/09/06/diigo-debuts-webslides-the-ten-minute-preso-fix <p></p><p><strong>Highlights and Sticky Notes:</strong><p><div class="content"><h3 class="post-title"><a href="http://www.launchsquad.com/blogs/exclamation/2007/09/06/diigo-debuts-webslides-the-ten-minute-preso-fix/" rel="bookmark">Diigo Debuts WebSlides - The Ten-Minute Preso Fix</a></h3> <p>Normally, I wouldn’t pop a vendor’s release in the Exclamation blog, but I really think that Diigo has come up with a pretty novel idea. Slideshows, when they’re good, tell a story. And that’s exactly what Exclamation is about - telling kick-ass stories.</p> <p>This morning, <a href="http://www.diigo.com">Diigo </a>officially released <a href="http://slides.diigo.com/">WebSlides</a>. They’re probably hanging out at <a href="http://o2con.com/index.jspa">Office 2.0</a> right now, basking in the glory of their slideyness. This release puts social tagging and bookmarking a little bit closer to the average joe, as it lets them enjoy the benefits of the medium without having to learn the guts of how it works.</p> <p>Here’s a good example of how WebSlides looks: a slideshow on <a href="http://slides.diigo.com/list/moultriecreek/genealogy20">genealogy 2.0</a>.</p> <p>We’ve been using Diigo here at LaunchSquad for about five months, and while we normally use it to forward cool sites around the office (and share with clients), there are some pretty solid applications for marketing, PR, social media and communications here too. WebSlides allows the user to make a slideshow of anything they tagged in Diigo. So, for example, if you have about 10 minutes and a decent wireless connection, you can prepare a narrated clip portfolio to show some of your company’s work (e.g. great articles written about your company or your clients). As long as these sites are already bookmarked in Diigo, you can pop them into the drag-and-drop interface and create the show very quickly; a web-slides feature has always been an Achilles<br /> heel of PowerPoint. (Well, geez, one of many - who am I kidding, here?)</p> <p>WebSlides differs from, say, Slideshare, because (1) it’s <strong>not </strong>just for uploading pre-existing <a href="http://www.apple.com/iwork/pages/">Pages </a>or PowerPoint presentations into a slideshow. It’s meant for making web-clipping slideshows, quickly. Not to diss Slideshare too much; they’re good for what they are - a post-presentation YouTube - but you really can’t make anything that looks too polished due to their bric-a-brac UI. </p> <p>For the time being, I’d go easy on using sound and narration gratuitously on WebSlides, as it doesn’t seem to have quite caught up with the rest of the product, but Diigo is usually good about fixing all bugs in a few weeks. WebSlides is a practical innovation from a company that’s been percolating with good ideas for some time now.</p></div><ul><li>Yeah, I saw your private WebSlides - cool production! Glad that you found it useful.
