Hey guys, potentially random question. I find it helpful utilize the "view participant contributions" in the group, in order to see and follow up on own own contributions. Has anyone noticed that there is either a really big delay in the updating of this tool or comments that are missing?
I know of at least two of the comments I made on other peoples bookmarks that do not show up on my 'view participant contributions' page. I wondered if it was a permission thing as well but it is hard to tell since I can see my own posts no matter what.
My sticky notes always show up at textual annotations. I have been unable to see my highlights or sticky notes on the actual bookmark itself. Is this what you mean?
I do actually have to tool bar. The sticky note and highlight shows up when I am actually in the middle of bookmarking my pages but if you were to click on the bookmark you wouldn't see it on the page. It just shows up in annotation style in the discussion.
Hmmm, at least you guys can see them I guess. I am finding diigo to be not very user friendly thus far but maybe it will just take some more getting use to.
It might be worthwhile to review the previous conference abstracts/programs, as there might be more literature on these topics since they are from a year or two ago.
The topics link provides a list of the topics being covered at the conference. Might be worth exploring for terms to use in searching in Google, or for possible final project topics.
I think I lean more toward the negative response to the authors feelings about technology. Almost satirical in nature, the poem has a soft overtone but is fairly sarcastic when it comes down to it. The union between nature and technology is sort of overplayed to let the reader know that what the poem describes isn't necessarily a good thing.
I found this blog by a librarian at Columbia University, when I was first messing around with Diigo. In this blog she writes about articles that she has read on social informatics and comments on them from the perspective of a librarian. Might be interesting as many of the articles pair social informatics and librarianship.

This blog was created by Indiana University students and faculty who were interested in Social Informatics. On top of providing information on current events, conferences, and a pretty good bibliography, they also write their own entries about related topics in social informatics. Some of the posts seem more geared toward moderate to experts in social informatics, but there are a lot of great posts incorporating theory, literature in the field, personal opinion, and current events.
This is a great resource created by the Social Sciences faculty at the University of Ljubljana. On top of getting information about current projects and events there is also a really great bibliography that might be helpful for our final projects.
