Piggybacking off of my latest entry on social bookmarking, I have decided to add another bookmarking site into my repertoire. Diigo is such a powerful research and knowledge sharing too, especially for my students as a technology teacher. Perhaps the most powerful knowledge-sharing tool, apart fromTwitter. Do not get me wrong, I still love some of the other bookmarking tools out there, such as delicious, but Diigo’s network and groups are extremely intuitive and offer a myriad of features that other bookmarking sites do not.
A feature I love about Diigo is the ability to annotate a website by using Diigo’s highlighter to highlight what is important and what you want to save. You can see how this would work great in an educational setting. If you are a fellow educator, you also have the ability to collaborate in private forums with your students on a website or an annotation.
I know some of you are skeptical, like myself was at first, because you have other accounts, like myself with delicious. No worries here because Diigo has made a tool where you can easily import your bookmarks from other services such as delicious or Google Notebook in an instance and then be notified byDiigo once the import is complete. Diigo also allows user to sync bookmarks between Diigo and these other services in case you do not want to let go of that precious delicious account.
Give Diigo a spin, you will not be disappointed.
