Medical Education on Diigo- more social bookmarking

After my last post, and some twitter discussion, Natalie and I decided that it was worth giving Diigo a go. It would allow us somewhere to form a medical education community, where we could have discussion, and talk to each other outside blogs. So here it is.

I'll be honest and say that as a social bookmarking tool I am finding it is taking me a little bit longer to find my way around. But it would be good if you check in and give us some feedback. We are living and learning!

  1. How does it compare to del.icio.us?

    Pam - I'm all against centralising things. :-)

    I would much prefer if everyone I knew used decentralised services because otherwise I need to log into Facebook, Myspace, Diigo, or whatever the hot social networking platform is at the time to connect with my peers.

  2. Hi, I relate to your comments. I'm using iGoogle as my central starting place with customized links to my favourite apps. Facebook for informal networking (it's the pub) and Google groups as a place for "serious" connections, Blog(s) for downloading my brain on specific topics, Google Reader for RSS feeds from the library, websites and other blogs. I have used delicious but did not make a real habit of it, so I will try Diigo.
    Cheers, Anita.

  3. Pam - What do you mean just a midwife :-)

    It is time-consuming keeping track of your network eh? What I really meant before is that I try to get all of my information managed through receiving feeds into my inbox (e.g. Google groups) and my RSS reader.

    I was right into FB for 6 months or so, but now I can't be bothered logging in. I wish all of my FB friends just had a blog.

  4. First time I have checked my blog and found 6 comments...what a flurry of activity so we must have hit a bit of a hot topic here!

    I am finding it hard to move away from my delicious habit... despite not being able to find out who certain people in my network really are. So it feels a little bit of a chore to be logging into diigo and we haven't reached critical mass yet. There are no discussions yet!

    Still watch this space!

  5. Thank you Pam! I have posted a question to the forum querying the merits of the forum! It sounds a bit navel-gazing :)
