Social bookmarking – a decent tool at last

I never could understand the attraction of using deli.cio.us (annoying name too) to ‘organise’ your bookmarks or favourite sites. Sharing them with others only makes sense if you can annotate what you’ve found, otherwise it’s just a long list to wade through all over again.

So I like what Diigo (daft name but not annoying) has managed to put together so far, and its still very much in development. When group functions appear in due course should be a great way for projects to research material together – there’s already a limited ‘invite a friend’ which makes it fairly easy to share.

Diigo: Social Annotation, Seamless Integration of Social Bookmarking, Web Highlighter, Sticky-Note & Clipping.

Oh and you can write or add bookmarks to a blog using Diigo, too.

  1. Not looked at Diigo yet, but am using open source delicious clone simpy.com which can be rolled out within organisations for internal use as far as I can ascertain, not tried it yet though
