The sign-up process was pretty straightforward; first name, last name, email, user name and password etc...One thing that I noticed that was different than Delicious is that Diigo asks for more personal information when you register such as your gender, city, zip code and the industry you work in. Although I just went back through the registration process and now realize that filling in that information is optional. Delicious gives you the option of creating a public profile if you want but it is separate from the registration process. My initial impression is that Diigo emphasizes the social part more and Delicious emphasizes the information.
Here are some of the bookmarks I've saved so far on Diigo. These are some things I've come across while doing research for the class. They are additional information on subjects we have covered in class that I want to look at later:
- Knol: a unit of knowledge (Google Wiki)
Searching for bookmarks on Diigo seems to be more complicated than Delicious. You can click on a link for "hot bookmarks" but many of these bookmarks have 5 or less people who have bookmarked the links so I am not sure what the criteria is for "hot bookmarks". Doing a search for a subject gives you a list of bookmarks which you can sort by recent or popular but it is unclear what is meant by "popular". You can also look through bookmark lists that people have created on various subjects. You can search these lists and also browse the lists, but the browsing categories are pretty broad. I will have to play around some more with this site to figure out what is the best way to find new information.
