Create Diigo Webslide shows for feeds or bookmarks

"Here are all diigobuzz's videos on Vimeo."

A professionally produced overview of Diigo. Good for the user looking to better understand the many features of Diigo. This video works to sell the service by showing you the technology and explaining the concepts underlying social bookmarking. As a long time delicious user, I understand the power of social bookmarking. As an online teacher and learner, I now use Diigo exclusively. (Although I have my Diigo account set up to automatically add all of my bookmarks to my Delicious account as well!) It's the best of both worlds!

This video works best as a conceptual overview of how the Diigo slides feature can be used to create a variety of different web-based presentations. I'd recommend this video as an 'eye opener' to the potential uses for this remarkable social bookmarking site.

On the other hand, it is is not a 'How to' video. Well worth watching for anyone involved in e-learning, collaborative research, blended teaching environments, library media studies, web 2.0 communications.

The author of this video JD Travers ends his video presentation by saying "There's a lot more to Diigo than this little Trick". He's so right!

But as tricks go, this is very clever. Travers shows us how you can use Diigo and Google Groups to create an interactive discussion board. As a power-searcher and e-learning teacher I see great possibilities with this approach.

A well produced video that uses the same style as the "Web is using us". Background music and visual images with an animated slide show highlight some of the things diigo can do. Pretty good on overall concepts. Slips into some of the more arcane bells and whistles along the way. This could confuse or intimidate the novice user. It was produced in September of 2007, so expect some changes to what you see on the screen.
