I am constantly learning things about Diigo. It’s great. Did you know if you’re a user, you could highlight anything anywhere online and send your notes back to yourself? I wish I knew that the other day at work! It’s quite useful.

I annotated a few posts from my blog to try it out and I am impressed with how organized everything is. I never anticipated anything like this. I wonder, can other people see what I annotated? Can other people comment on my work and send me their revisions? Even if they don’t know me? Technology is advancing so rapidly I can barely keep up!

Once I got it working, it wasn’t so bad. I enjoyed being able to read the feedback from my classmates. I also liked being able to post my own thoughts and/or questions. I still haven’t figured out the difference between a sticky note versus a bookmark and highlighting. For educational purposes it’s a great tool. If I were teaching high school level I would definitely have considered using this tool. As a future elementary school teacher I could use it with fellow co workers and articles I come across.

Diigo has yet to be widely publicized, but I think it will become more popular over time. Annotating in college is important and can be helpful to students in being able to read others thoughts or understanding of the material.

This is the most versatile social bookmarking tool! Why is Diigo our social bookmarking service of choice? It provides so many other useful features in addition to saving and sharing bookmarks! Diigo enables you to forward your saved sites to others, enhancing collaboration. It's also a great tool for researching because it allows you to highlight text and add sticky notes to any web page. Diigo provides another tool for collaboration by allowing the creation of user groups and discussion forums. Diigo also interacts with Delicious and other bookmarking tools through the use of the Add Elsewhere button. Web pages can be linked together, in a webquest style, through the use of the webslides feature.

But Diigo had a few other features that I also enjoyed. First of all it allows me to expert and import sites with my del.icio.us account which was convenient. It also allows me to make a blog post of my finds right away. I can add tags just like with deli.cio.us and that helps me to keep organized. I can also search the finds of others using Diigo. Diigo was originally designed to be helpful to researchers so I find it to be very user friendly. But the part I REALLY enjoy, is the opportunity to HIGHLIGHT the parts of article I am reading that I find to be interesting or important. If you ever saw a book after I am done with it, you'd see highlighting all over it! I am so happy to be able to extend this habit to my web surfing! I can also add "sticky notes" with my comments on them which is akin to writing in the margins. I love doing that too!

8. Diigo: Diigo is my primary social bookmarking tool and how I generate my daily bookmark posts for my blog. I do so much online research for both the courses I develop and for my own personal learning; a good system to track all the resources I find is indispensable. Diigo’s also improved a lot since I started using it, and they’ve learned to take user feedback seriously.

REMINDER: There’s two interesting Genealogy Research groups at Diigo. First, there’s the Genealogy Research Resources group which catalogs data sites like archives and libraries. This group has a significant collection of useful sites. Then there’s the Genealogy Research Support group for links to how-to articles and videos, software vendors and reviews. Anyone can take advantage of these resources and if you’d like to add to the collection, all it takes is a free Diigo account.

Realmente cuando uno explora los recursos 2.0 se da cuenta de aquella trillada frase de que el día debería tener más de 24 horas. Leo en educ.ar Nuevas herramientas para potenciar las redes sociales y conozco Diigo. Paso siguiente, lo instalo y a probar un nuevo marcador social con agregados. La pregunta que uno se hace es para que, si con del.ici.us nos llevamos de maravillas. Quizás la respuesta está sobre el final del artículo: “Algunos utilizamos determinadas herramientas, otros se deciden por otras. Tal vez de eso se trate. Desde envidadigital.net lo resumen así: “En esto de la web 2.0 uno no se puede casar con nadie. En este contexto podríamos decir que la infidelidad 2.0 es una virtud necesaria. He concluido que soy un polígamo 2.0. Me refiero a que no puedo quedarme con un solo marcador social, tengo que ser fiel a varios de ellos“.”

Diigo www.diigo.com Diigo is my personal favorite for social bookmarking. Users can not only import del.icio.us or other bookmarks, they can also update those other services using diigo. In addition, diigo’s informational video and screencasts—accessible on its home page—provide a great introduction to social bookmarking. Diigo’s secondary features include a rich set of browser tools that allows users to highlight passages and leave comments on Web pages for other diigo users to see (a great way for teachers to effectively assess student assignments). Diigo also lets you send an email or blog post directly from a Web page, automate a daily blog post of your bookmarks with comments, or create blog or site widgets with your bookmarks.
