Diigo for highlighting and annotating webpages

I want to call this ‘dingo’, the Australian answer to the fox, except a bit more doglike. Diigo lets you highlight, sticky-note, tag and of course bookmark webpages. I imported bookmarks from FireFox. It encompasses websites that I’ve given a thumbs-up in StumbleUpon (as well as ‘regular’ bookmarks), including ‘StumbleUpon’ and whatever tags were applied in SU as tags. You can add more tags.

I’ve only used this for a bit and I am finding it fun. They seem to have thought of a lot of eventualities. Naturally Diigo has the social aspect of sharing bookmarks, but I am happy not to share at this stage.  Perhaps if I had friends who were collaborating, but honestly, the random folk of Diigo can do their own work for now. Mashable highlights Diigo and other enticing ‘back to school’ web apps.

New blog for all things not health

The Health Informaticist still rocks my world, but I felt that some of my stuff was definitely not healthy, and I need a place to spew it. I am fascinated by social technology, libraries, psychology, evaluation and suchlike and feel they would work better here. I hope this is the start of something fun and interesting!
