WebNotes: Yet Another Annotation Service - ReadWriteWeb

  • I think it would be fair to say that Diigo is the most popular and mature web annotation tool on the market today. With over half a million registered users, It has been continuously refined over the past three years.



    ------------



    So it would be helpful to compare any new entrant in the space to Diigo. If webnotes is aiming at serious web surfers, then I must say that side-by-side comparisons would show that Diigo is a much more powerful (and mature) tool. For example, Diigo provides rich tagging capability as well as folders for better information organization, and group annotation for better collaboration. Diigo automatically caches the page so it is always available to you. Diigo allows you to search the full-text of your collections, or just within your highlights. Diigo allows you to easily extract your research findings or publish them to blogs .....



    ----------



    One could argue that webnotes' is simpler because of less features. Well, if you want real productivity, I should like to argue that it just falls far short of what Diigo enables. In addition, Diigo's rich functionality has been designed with painstaking care so that if you will be completely comfortable just using a subset of the features to begin with. For tools that are really simple, I would say delicious and google notebooks are hard to beat.



    -------------



    Diigo team continues to dedicate itself to make Diigo the best tool for research productivity and knowledge sharing. (In the meantime, other web annotation tools such as fleck, i-lighter, jump knowledge, trailfire, etc have essentially stopped development or simply shut-down, to the best of my knowledge. )

  • @Wade, been a while since I saw you! Glad you took the time to comment.



    Diigo is the leader in Social Annotations and the focus is on community and hence the impressive number of half a mil users.



    I've been using Webnotes since I got an early beta invite and think its very solid technology and focuses on the individual need of a true researcher.



    Webnotes has a sharing capability but that is not about annotating a page and sharing with your community like Diigo. I use Diigo as a complement to Delicio.us



    I use webnotes for real work market research I want to share with my team where I can highlight or annotate a page and share it with a fellow researcher in the team.



    Its true that many players in this space have shut down. Webnotes arrival will help revive this space.



    I see the difference between Diigo and Webnotes as sharing content in a public community vs work/team collaboration setting. Both have merit but solve different problems for different segment of users.

Diigo vs StumbleUpon | Diigo

  • I'll second that, I'd love to see photoblogging and video blogging here at Diigo. It is a little flat looking with it being so text focused. Sort of like going into an empty home where there is no artwork on the walls, looks kinda bare nekkid. :)
    • absolutely right . picture tells more then words ;) . thats why finding kool sites is more easy in Stumble Upon - on 2009-03-22

  • One big plus for Diigo, the almost infinite levels of privacy you can choose for yourself. That and the ability to create open or closed format groups without having to be a paying sponsor. Nice touches like that are winning me over.
    • yap , thats so gr8 :) - on 2009-03-22

5 Creative Ways to Hack Your Facebook Profile Photo

  • Hacking the Facebook Profile Photo

  • There are a lot of fun things you can do pairing foreground cutout images with the background Facebook template. The first one I did was to create a sort of mini-living room for me to hang out in. Here’s a screenshot of my profile using this particular photo.


    I wanted to do a play on the little grey line and decided to try to create the illusion that I was hanging from it. I started by taking a photograph of me hanging from a doorway and then isolating the image. I then overlayed the photo on a longer version of the blank Facebook profile photo template.


    Here’s a look at that process and the final result:
