Which is a better tool for saving and sharing content, Evernote or Diigo? - Quora - 0 views

    • Emily Aberg
       
      I use Evernote as a cross-platform "online notebook". Since Wednesday's class I've been comparing the Diigo to Evernote, and wanted to see if the two were similar and what the differences between the two were.  I found this online discussion and highlighted a few of my favorite points that cover their similar and distinctive features, and how both tools can be used in tandum. I hope this is helpful to other classmates who have used Evernote, or some other online browsing tool. It seems like there's a lot of entities on the web offering browsing and reading tools, but when you hear them described, they all sound vaguely like they do the same thing: store and organize all your information. It's helpful to me to see tools compared side by side like you would any product. 
  • On the Diigo side, what I really like is the easy way to store thousands of links and overall find them again when I need them. I have around 7000 links and I can find nearly all of them in few seconds. The tag cloud helps and the filtering options are neat, adding or removing tags is super easy.
  • The overlay feature is also very handy, for personal use I don't have to read my articles twice, and for team work it is very nice to share important points with colleagues plus comment and/or coordinate using sticky notes. However, the multi-platforms experience should be improved. I combine iPhone, iPad and laptop and on the mobile devices, the apps and browser tagging bars reduce the quality of the experience I have on my laptop.

  • On the Evernote side, the multi-platforms experience is one of the best I experienced so far. It is very easy to capture new content from what ever device or browser, they even offer an app for your Mac or PC. It is the perfect tool when you are on the road. I also love the build-in caracter recognition feature for photos. But, I think the search by tag could be improved, the way tags are managed is less efficient than the way Diigo handle them and here I'm not talking about finding something when you have hundreds of items, I'm talking about thousands. Evernote is also less open to collaboration if you don't have a premium account.
  • Today, I really need both tools and use them everyday in combination with wiki websites in which I often integrate Diigo RSS feeds.
  • Evernote is really powerful - its search capabilities are unprecedented. But 1/ it was never designed to be a bookmarking system2/ social, sharing and such is not the focus of EvernoteTherefore I think you should use both.

    MSN Entertainment is set up like an on-line magazine. It has information about many shows across different networks. It is a more objective blog that strives to simply report the details of episodes or new about upcoming seasons. The fact that it is associated with a new outlet makes the reporting seen more credible, because presumably sources must be vetted. In addition to vetting sources, the larger new outlets will have more resources and more contacts within the industry to confirm information.
