  • diigo: diigo's twist to the social bookmarking arena is social annotation. diigo has featured prominently in Michael Wesch's videos of the future of the web (The Machine is Us/ing Us and Information R/evolution), where Wesch uses diigo to mark up and annotate web pages. And watch diigo's introductory video to see their thanks. Social annotation means that you can mark up and leave sticky notes on web pages, and everyone who is a diigo user can see them. This is an excellent research tool. (Try also: diigo WebSlides, Trailfire, Clipmarks, SharedCopy, Fleck)

  • teaching del.icio.us to their clients. Follow her lead!



    Sharing web resources with staff: One of the most common library uses of del.icio.us is to create a database of shared links for reference desk staff. If you have a joint account, everyone can add, search, or browse bookmarks, plus you can subscribe to the RSS feed to get updated when any new links are added. If you want to get really fancy, you can use an RSS to Javascript tool like Feed2JS to roll the new links on a staff web page.
