reflect on my social bookmarking practices

What were the most important reasons for you to join Diigo?

I usually start going through my Diigo emails

with like-minded people

Diigo group

a very effective way to keep up to date with cutting edge practice

easier to identify people who have common interests

maximise the exchanges

easily trackable by rss

(immediate or weekly) emails

How do you manage your subscriptions?

much more potential to share

I have joined quite a few Diigo groups

manage the information according to the time available

quick check, save on Diigo or

as a reminder to read the article or the report later

send a shortcut to my computer

Key words need to be standardized

s a protocol necessary

to determine a common vocabulary

or is self-regulation best?

too restricting to regulate for a whole group

different languages

I do not think it makes any difference

Does socialbookmarking enable you to be innovative?

%20 (space) is double encoded

saved pages somehow categorized

accessible from anywhere

export the cached page along with the sticky notes, etc

I'd much prefer that sort of thing in the cloud

specify a dated cache/snapshot for presentation of annotations

Then I found Diigo, and suddenly Delicious didn’t look so good anymore. Diigo is another social bookmarking service (and one we’ve covered before), offering all of Delicious’ relevant features and much more. I left Delicious, and haven’t ever looked back. There are a lot of things I love about Diigo, but there are seven features that sold me on using Diigo for all my bookmarking needs. These are all in addition to the features I deem non-negotiable for social bookmarking sites- tagging, Firefox extensions, looking at popular bookmarks, etc.

1. Highlighting

2. Saving Pages is Easier Than Ever, Regardless of Browser

If you’re using Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Flock, the Diigo toolbar has all the features you could want - bookmark, search, highlight, and organize all your Web pages right from the toolbar. If you’re not into those browsers, though there’s a great bookmarklet that lets you do most of that with any browser. I use Chrome, and all the functionality I need is built right into the bookmarklet. Delicious becomes more difficult to use outside of Firefox (there are bookmarklets, but they pale in comparison), and Diigo keeps on working fine.

3. Functional Commenting and Real Conversations

This is one of my favorite features of Diigo - when you’re reading a page, you can make comments right on the page, that show up as speech bubbles. If another Diigo user comes across the page, they’ll be able to see your comment. You can see (in the Firefox sidebar) who’s reading a page you’re on, who’s talking about it, and a real conversation can happen - unlike in Delicious, when all you can see is someone’s bookmarks.

4. Send Bookmarks to Facebook or Twitter with one click

With one click, you can send a Diigo bookmark to Twitter, Facebook, or your blog. It truly takes one click, from “Send” to the service you want to use. If you want to send bookmarks to Facebook, you’ll have to install the Diigo Facebook app. You can also have Diigo create a daily digest of your latest bookmarks and send it to your blog, which I’d debate the usefulness of, but the functionality is there. Being able to bookmark a site on Twitter in particular straight from Diigo is big for me, and makes Twitter easier and quicker to use.

5. Sites Help You Find Deeper Cuts

When you bookmark a page with Diigo, it bookmarks more than just the link (like those other sites). It bookmarks the entire page you were on, which has two great implications. First, it means you can preview sites within the Diigo page. You can view your bookmarked page, without ever leaving Diigo. It also means that you can search the full text of pages you bookmark.

Your bookmarks live in Diigo, so if a site goes down or is unavailable, you can still find it in Diigo, as well as search and view it. Diigo’s become a social-bookmarking machine, and I left Delicious and never looked back. If you want to make the switch, you can import your bookmarks from most other services- making the switch is so easy, there’s no reason not to! Diigo’s the new gold standard in social bookmarks. Do you use social bookmarking services? Which one? What are the killer features that make you use the one you’ve got?

I’m a big YouTube fan, but there are way more videos than I can possibly figure out. With “Sites“, you’re able to go through a particular site (including MakeUseOf) and find out what other people are bookmarking and reading about. You can create a watchlist, and whenever someone bookmarks a page from that site, you see it. It’s a great way to find popular and cool stuff in big, content-full sites that you might not notice otherwise.

6. Simultaneously bookmark things to Diigo and Elsewhere - even Delicious! If you have a Ma.gnolia, Delicious, or Simpy account that you want to hold on to for posterity, you can set up Diigo to simultaneously bookmark pages to Diigo and to your other service, using the “Save Elsewhere” feature. I like this because it means you can use the vastly superior Diigo, but for all four different services. Just enter your account info, and you can start bookmarking all over the Web, with one click!

7. Bookmark and Search Entire Web Pages

I seem to always bookmark a page, and then come back to it later and forget what it was that I cared about on the page

No more searching through the page again to find what it was you cared about.

add to productivity

I almost forget they are there

damn useful

these have been with me for a while

so easy

starts and ends with meta data

I explore the metaverse

a weapon of mass construction (sic)

drop pixel pins

powerful tools

then drop into a ‘lab’

prefer their phone

they make things better

is like an exoskeleton

Developing learning systems using browser power-ups

It all starts and ends with meta data

sometimes writers must work with others to collaborate on projects

or when being hired by a client for freelance work

highlight passages on web pages, add sticky notes, and share with your colleagues or you client
