A peek at Diigo for social bookmarking

This is one helpful video for a quick tutorial on the key features of diigo....

This is what I found it could do..

So what are some features of Diigo that Delicious doesn’t seem to have ? My observations are just based on some tinkering with Delicious and the video tutorial on Diigo

1. Diigo allows users to highlight text on webpages

2. Diigo provides post-it-note pads which we can use to type in comments as we read the web material, and want to write notes on what we read

3. Websites which are bookmarked will appear on both the Favourites list on the browser, as well as in the user’s Diigo account online

4. Diigo allows bookmarks to be shared via email

5. Diigo allows web sites to be presented like a powerpoint presentation

6. Diigo allows lists to be created – these lists capture websites which may have multiple tags or tags which are not so specific. The list may be helpful for organising material around certain topics.

Features which both Diigo and Delicious have :

1. Websites can be tagged and comments added.

2. These bookmarks can be shared with your group

3. Groups/networks can be created

4. You can browse through other people’s tags – by tags or usernames

I am not sure if either site allows webpages to be rated by users (much like how Youtube videos are rated). I think I noticed only a number showing how many users have tagged a particular site, i.e. how popular the site is. Hmmm.....
