C&I 401 - Week 2: Delicious & Diigo « Cycling Through Ed Tech - 0 views

  • 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.

Diigo. An Indispensable, Free Tool For Knowledge Workers - 0 views

  • 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 - 0 views

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • 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.
  • 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 - 0 views

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • It is refreshing to see another fan of this often overlooked Social Bookmarking Tool. I've been using Diigo since its earliest version and it is beginning to hit full stride with auto suggesting tags, public or private, Twitter feed check and a tremendous amount of flexibility.

Diigo: Survival of the Fittest ~ Highly recommended!!! - 0 views

  • 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 - 0 views

  • 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.
