clipmarks diigo review socialweb

  • All Clipmarks passages are linked to their online sources, which is an improvement from simply copying and pasting text into an e-mail or blog.
  • There are a lot of social bookmarking sites on the Web, and Clipmark's granular clipping feature is not different enough to make the site fundamentally more useful or relevant than others. It is, however, just as good a time-waster as Digg, Reddit, or StumbleUpon.
  • There is one thing about Clipmarks that really bugs me, though: You can easily clip and save content to Clipmarks and then e-mail or blog it, as I said above. But once you leave the page you've highlighted clippings on, they vanish. To me, that's like having a highlighter with disappearing ink, which is not really what one expects: You highlight some text, turn the page, turn it back, and presto! your highlights are gone. I'd like the option to make Clipmark highlights persistent. Annotation services such as Stickis and Trailfire do this, but they're designed for a different purpose.

diigo review

  • Hands-on Diigo: bookmarking evolved By Rafe Needleman – August 1, 2006,
  • There's yet another new bookmarking utility live now: Diigo. This one is different. In addition to letting you bookmark pages and share those bookmarks with others, it also lets you highlight parts of pages (text or images), and store those highlights not only in your Diigo account, but also on the Web pages themselves
  • The annotation capability sets Diigo apart from Del.icio.us and makes it a more granular data-gathering tool, like ClipMarks
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • but we've evolved since then--what people used to call "graffiti" we now call "interactivity" and "community."
  • Diigo has very useful annotation and organizational features, though, and if you want a good way to mark up the Web for personal use or a fast way to send clips to people you know, it's worth checking out.

      the main thing is the in-situ highlighting and annotation
  • It took me a while to grok Diigo, though. There's a lot going on here, and like a Swiss Army Knife, there are blades that new users will find confusing. What's a customizable search bar doing here? And why does Diigo act so much like a social bookmarking tool--do we really need another one of these?
  • It's a handy and universal "send this article" function, and the highlighting tool makes it much easier to add context.

  • Another somewhat similar service is Diigo, which also has plug-ins for the major browsers that allow you to highlight content in a page (in Diigo's case it becomes yellow) and tag it with keywords. You can also add what amounts to a sticky note with comments, and then save it to Diigo's servers, where it is shared with other users. You can then go back to your account and see not just your own comments or highlighted sections from a site, but also the highlights and comments from any other Diigo user who also saved the page.
  • But what if saving a link isn't enough? Sometimes when you're researching a particular subject, you might want to keep more than just a link and a paragraph of text from a particular page.
