Hey everyone, thanks for visiting the Church IT Roundtable Diigo Group! I created it so I could save cool links I found that might be of interest to others who are running the IT infrastructure at churches in some capacity. Feel free to join the group, I'll approve you ASAP, and post all your cool links as well so I can find out about all the stuff I don't know about yet but would be helpful.

The Main Church IT Roundtable Wiki is at http://www.citrt.org but this site, with the various Firefox/Chrome extensions and Bookmarklets, makes it really easy to save bookmarks while browsing the web (for yourself, and then easily to the group even as an afterthought).

One cool feature that Diigo has if you go to Tools at the very top is it can automatically bookmark links in tweets that you favorite on Twitter if you link it with your Twitter account. I do this (though I have them save the links privately) and it's quite handy as a reference! Just a quick tip :-)

I do suggest changing the frequency (Group Settings on the right) to only email you once a day or once a week instead of immediately upon a new link being posted, to keep your email volume down. Or not a all, but there's enough useful stuff here I want to know about it soon after it's posted!

You can start topics like this as well, which are more like a forum post and don't have a link attached. That may or may not be useful; you're probably better off going to the #citrt IRC channel (see citrt.org for the link) or starting a discussion on Twitter with the #citrt hashtag; I don't know that we need to use this as yet another discussion area. But the feature is there! It's also kind of cool to be able to leave comments on links that others have shared.

Well that's it, I figured I'd write a quick intro here since there have been a few people joining recently. I suggest installing one of the browser extensions to make bookmarking very easy...if I didn't I'd never use Diigo! But now that I save so much stuff here (to the group and to my main bookmarks area), I use it all the time even from other people's computers when I need to remember a link I want to tell someone about!
