I just finished setting up my diigo, and I was so happy to see that I could import my delicious bookmarks into diigo. It made me remember all of the great websites I had saved on there, some of which I have not visited or used in quite a while.
As an eMINTS teacher, I am always looking for great things to use with my students to help reinforce skills that I am teaching. Every Friday I find myself googling for new stuff, which I will probably still do, but now that I have diigo, I will try to work smarter and save what I find to utilize later. I don't want it to turn into a virtual file drawer that I pack full and then never use, so my goal is to be sure to organize it in a way that will make me want to use it as a time saver.
I totally agree about it being easy to bookmark great sites, and then totally forget about them. Hopefully, diigio will inspire both of us to be smarter with our site searching time. :) On a sidenote- thanks for not setting the alarm on me tonight. :)

Glad you like Diigo. I think it has some great features.
ReplyDeleteI kmow that is the hardest part- I tend to book mark my little heart out and then find I don't go back to it...
ReplyDeletelol...love the virtual file cabinet reference. I just went to my delicious account and it was no longer there! That is how long it has been since I used it :( I am hoping I am better with Diigo. I was good when it was on my tool bar. It is too easy to just google and get it again, plus you might find 5 more sites on the same topic that are better. However, that is how I get stuck in a time-sucking vortex that wastes hours before I am back to my original topic :)
