Social Bookmarking

I am a huge fan of social bookmarking. I have used several different sites. I started with Deli.cio.us, then Diigo and finally Google bookmarks. Diigo is such a great interface. I like the way it looks the way it merges with my browser. It is a tool that is easy to use with students. You can easily comment on students’ references and they can comment on each others findings. I have to note another evolution of my use of this type of tool. I use Evernote now for …well, everything! I love this tool and how it gathers and organizes my ideas and findings. I have yet to use it with students. However, I see the “share” aspect of it as a valuable application, that could replace bookmarking sites for me.

  1. I think I have an Evernote app, but I haven't used it yet. Is it a social bookmarking tool, or is it more involved?
    I was going to check out Diigo since you mentioned the comment features, but I don't want to keep using new tools for the same thing, so should I skip Diigo and go right to Evernote?

  2. I have heard great things about Evernote, but have not explored it myself. You have peaked my interest.
