Well we didn't actually get to discuss this one on Wednesday but it is a very interesting site to bookmark all of your references. Not only can bookmark websites, but you can also highlight sections of the article that you are after and bookmark that part and add notes to it. Which i think is an awesome way to be able to organize all of your references because you don't always need all of the web site for you bibliography just part of it. I actually haven't subscribed to this site as I have so many already and because I m using Delicious already, but I am seriously thinking of changing them over.
You don't need to pay for this site either which is good and and once again doesn't take long to subscribe you just need to give them a few details.
Well I didn't want to talk to much about this one I wanted to see if any of you have played around with this site and what do you think about it??

Hi Candy,
ReplyDeleteDiigo was one of the social bookmarking sites that I investigated. I haven't joined it either- for me it was a little too similar to facebook, but it has quite a few advantages. Diigo is free and everything is stored on your 'page' on that site. It lets you highlight and comment on text from the internet and look at other people's comments on the pages you're on. Diigo is highly social, and you can stay up to date on what your friends/contacts have been tagging. It does seem to be a cross between facebook and delicious, but taking the best of both worlds.
Let me know how it works out for you.
