flavius saracut's List: SITEURI PREFERATE DE TECH

Andy Brudtkuhlhas has a nice post, 6 Reasons Diigo is Better Than Delicious. In the post, one of the reasons he cites for Diigo’s being better is its social aspects:

Diigo has an extra level of social networking that Delicious does not provide - at least not in a usable manner. You can connect with people that have similar interests based on what you tag.

I’ve been playing with them a bit. Here’s an initial impression I have of how “social” works in the two bookmarking services:

* Diigo uses content to find people
* Delicious uses people to find content

Delicious, an original web 2.0 company, still has “user-generated” as its core raison d’être. Diigo has the later-stage web 2.0 philosophy of being a “social network”.
Diigo: Social Is as Social Does

Diigo has been built to find people based on common bookmark and tag interests. It has social network features throughout:

1. Finding people on Diigo is much easier than on Delicious
2. Diigo generates user matches based on tag and bookmark compatibility
3. User profiles
4. You can see who has visited your profile page
5. You can comment on the bookmarks of others
6. You can share bookmarks with specific users

Networking on Diigo Is Easier

A basic function - finding other users - is much easier on Diigo than on Delicious. The graphic below shows the results of a search for my name:

Adapx raises $9M to digitize your notes
Anthony Ha | April 13th, 2009 | Add a Comment

Adapx, a Seattle startup that makes software to digitize handwritten notes, has raised $9 million in a second round of venture funding.

The company’s software works with digital pen-and-paper technology from Anoto. As users take notes with the pen, their writing is recorded by a digital camera and is transformed into formats compatible with Microsoft Office, Autodesk (engineering models), and ArcGIS (maps). The company showed off a particularly cool feature at the DEMOfall conference last year, where users can take notes on a paper form and have them transferred to the corresponding boxes in an Excel spreadsheet. But wait a second, who takes handwritten notes anymore? Well, reporters like me, for starters — sometimes it’s not convenient to whip out my laptop, especially when I’m outdoors.
