Bookmarking with Diigo

The next interesting idea is bookmarking.

My other team member, Daniel looked at Del.icio.us, so I decided to look at the ins and outs of Diigo.
I signed up to Diigo (I have been doing a lot of signing up lately!) and had a look around..

Points of Interest:
I can do the following with the site...

• Add websites under my log-in that I can access on any computer so long as I am logged in under my account. As well as just add the website I can add my own "notes" about the site, and can go into as much or as little detail as I feel I require to help me later on explain the website.
• You can add 'tags' to help identify what the website might be about to an outsider and potentially help me, the bookmark user know what and why I have bookmarked that website.
• I can also "preview the website" I have bookmarked, which I like as a visual stimulus if you forget what it is...

As well as...

• Put together a "list" of my favorite bookmarks (as such) that I can share with people
• Add my "friends" from my e-mail account - not something I am looking at doing just yet...
• Download my "bookmarks" from other book marking sites I may be signed up to such as Del.icio.us.
• Link the site up to my Facebook for easier access

Area I am struggling with...

• Thinking of websites to add to the site as I don't use many on a regular basis that are not work related.
• Finding the correct site address - If I don;t have them written down somewhere, I have to search for them!
• Sharing with groups - I don't have any "Friends" on Diigo yet! I also have yet to meet people on on Diigo to share my sites with

It seems there is a lot more to Diigo that if I was interested in spending the time on a bookmarking website, Diigo would be it, but I don't think it would not be useful without a large number of bookmarks.

Diigo versus EndNote...

Diigo has a lot of similarities to EndNote, with it's ability to add as much or as little detail about a bookmark for future use. It also has the ability to preview bookmarks through 'tags,' about what the bookmark is about, again similar to EndNote.

Does it add value...

When I first thought about bookmarking, I knew very little and had already jumped to a conclusion that it what not be worth my while... After having read Daniel's report on Del.icio.us, I understood the positive side to bookmarking on-line as it is a handy tool to access on any computer, therefore not restricting you to one computer.

I believe, given the time, Diigo could be a valuable tool for me, both for future school subjects and possibly to keep all of my sites of interest in one place.
