Let Diigo Turn the Net into Your Notebook - 17 views

  • I learn better when I’m active as I read. I love to have a pen or highlighter in my hand when I study. It helps me identify points of reference and make outlines of the subject material to get a better grip on a topic. Diigo helps me to do all of that on the Worldwide Web, and version 4.0 has just been released, adding features and making the experience even better.
  • major advantage of social bookmarking is that your bookmarks are stored online,
  • A second benefit is that each of your bookmarks can be tagged with as many categories as you like, making it easier to find them in future. This also makes it easy to drill down into your bookmarks, narrowing the search
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • A third benefit is that your bookmarks are available to others, and theirs to you. Combined with the concept of tagging, this is essentially a way of indexing the entire Internet
  • Once you have Diigo’s Firefox extension installed, select the words you wish to highlight, and right click. Diigo has added “Highlight” and “Bookmark and Highlight” to the context menu. Select “Highlight”, and Diigo will highlight the selected words green. You can change the color to blue, pink or yellow from the Diigo menu later.
  • omment about potential improvements for a website you have developed, and highlight things you need to act on in your favorite FreelanceSwitch articles.
  • I can share my notes and highlights with non-Diigo users by selecting “Get annotated link” from Diigo’s drop-down menu. This allows me to give others comments on their work without them having to sign up to Diigo.
  • partly a social bookmarking service like Yahoo’s Delicious, and partly a notation or commenting tool like the new Google Sidewiki.
  • Like a highlighter pen, it lets me highlight points of interest in an article – now in multiple colors
  • my library on the Diigo website, allowing me to organize the information by list or tag, and share it with my friends and colleagues so we can collaborate.
