Del.icio.us

*sigh* I just tried getting into my bookmarks at del.icio.us, and the site appears to be down. Major bummer that.

Rachel,

Thought you might be interested in checking out www.diigo.com, a next generation social bookmarking and annotation service that enables users to increase research productivity, readily exchange information, and connect with others who share their interests and concerns.

Not only you can bookmark with it, you can also add highlights, sticky notes and have interactions right on the webpage. You can also simultaneously bookmark to several bookmarking sites – make it easy to have one single source without giving up other services. As a blogger and librarian, you may also appreciate several blogging tools and the powerful list function that allows you to bundle a specific collection of webpages, share and even display them as an interactive online slideshow!

It’s also a great collaborative research platform. You can easily share your findings, complete with your highlights and sticky notes, with friends and colleagues.

This video gives a brief overview http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RvAkTuL02A
and some recent reviews: http://www.diigo.com/list/maggie_diigo/diigo-v3-reviews

CNet includes Diigo among its Top 10 Research Tools, and many librarians have started to discover Diigo and found it quite useful. We’d love to have your participation and hear what you think!
