Diigo

Here is the link to my Diigo library.  I have to admit that at first I wasn't too excited about Diigo.  After spending time trying it out I have changed my mind!  I wish that I had know about it sooner.  I have been using Pinterest for a while and will continue to do so, but with Diigo I feel that it is easier and quicker to locate things.  I am finding that the more I use Pinterest, that the more crowded my boards are becoming which makes it hard to go back and find what I am looking for.  Diigo's tags and lists features make it easier to see what you have saved.  I do like that Pinterest shows you the picture of the idea.

At first I did not use the list feature, but when I went back to create lists I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to add previously saved items to the new lists.  Each time I save something new to my library, it is just one click to easily add that item to the appropriate list.

I also saw the "play as webslide" feature on the lists page.  It shows the web pages from the library in a slide show.  This can be helpful to help you remember what was on the page that you wanted to save instead of looking at multiple pages on the same topic.

I've Been Social Bookmarking and Didn't Know It!

I didn't know that my addiction to Pinterest was really social bookmarking.  I love the ease of finding things quickly on a certain topic.  It is also interesting to share ideas with your friends who follow you.  I think that Diigo is more powerful, however, when it comes to research and organizing information for school and work.  It could be that I feel that way because I am using Pinterest for crafts, recipes, and lesson ideas.  I don't usually find articles or more "formal" information that I have in my Diigo bookmarks.

Here are some books I found on Pinterest for Ground Hog Day coming up this Saturday.
