Around the Corner - MGuhlin.net : Diigo - Invasion of the Bookmark Snatchers

Sun, 30 Mar 2008 04:00:35 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

Easy group subscription - I wish there was a URL I could share with people. They click on it, and bam, if they have a Diigo account, they're subscribed. If they lack an account, it walks them through the process then makes sure to hook them up with the group. I just don't see how to do it easily now.

Somehow, I find myself trusting Diigo more than Facebook, although you can connect to Facebook via Diigo. What's also present is the potential for "Diigo-spam." Ok, I've spammed everyone in my addressbook. I can't remember the last time I did it, but I hope that if you received an email via Diigo from me, you'll jump in and give this a try. If you don't want to, hit delete. Do I think Diigo is that powerful a tool? Well, yes. It offers something Delicious doesn't--groups, and a base of operations that interfaces with other tools. If I could share information using Diigo, ohmygosh, one ring to rule them all.

One of the other aspects of Diigo I liked was that the Diigo crew is hopping to improve things. Importing bookmarks from Delicious API wasn't working well (i had to try 3-4 times), so they came up with an alternative way to accomplish the import. Dean Shareski complained about the interface, and they re-did the user interface. There's also talk of creating an education (student) friendly Diigo....

Social Bookmarking Soulmates at WRT: Writer Response Theory

Sat, 29 Mar 2008 15:03:04 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

During the assignment, students are at first skeptical that they will find anyone with similar interest. Usually it is not till they find a “Gem,” or exciting link, through someone else’s tags that they see the value in the exercise. More importantly, the assignment hammers home the ways in which social bookmarking can help them become part of a network of scholars, collaborating albeit indirectly at times.
After a few weeks of my stressing the importance of effective tagging and annotation, however, students are often a bit disappointed with the disorder they see in the tags of others. I remind them, “That’s right. Stay off the streets. It’s two clicks from chaos out there.”

paul perry - Web Annotations

Tue, 10 Apr 2007 23:28:31 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

Annotations are a broadly useful mechanism that can support a number of document and database management applications:

provide a trace of use
third party commentary
information sharing
information filtering
semantic labeling of document content
enhanced search

But it continues to be hard to publish to the web. If better tools are provided to information consumers then readers will be able to add commentary, make new connections, interpret content, and otherwise promote an accretion of both structure and content on the web. This process will add new semantics to the web and this new information will be the source for new approaches to searching and filtering of information.

diigo toolbar for maxthon ..? - Maxthon Forum

Wed, 19 Jul 2006 21:04:44 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

just wondered if anyone out there could either get the official diigo toolbar for IE working with maxthon (doesn't seem to show up anywhere) - or coding sth akin to the great delicious plugin that already exists ..?

for those not in the know, i strongly recommend you check out diigo - looks like a real keeper (as long as i can get it working in maxthon ).

ps diigo is a new (invite only) "social annotation & bookmarking" website.

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

that tracked back to me. The point is true anough, I suppose, but I think the network effect of many technologies is overrated - there is no end to the effort many early adopters will make to be the earliest to adopt).
