Diigo is the ’social bookmarking’ tool that I’m trying out as a method of keeping my bookmarks online. (and accessible wherever I am) . It’s a very easy tool to use (check here for a more detailed look at the tool). The aspect of it that intrigues me for the purposes of this post however, is the ability to create listings of links on the fly. This seems as though it would be an interesting way of generating links on a specific topic for an intranet collection in a law office or as a shared link repository for a research project with multiple group members. Here’s an example of the ‘linkroll’ (as it’s called) in action on my site:
WheneverI or any other user logged in to the correct account finds a site of interest, by adding it to the Diigo account, the link is automatically added to the list of links displaying on any page you’ve added the correct bit of html to.
What do you think? Is this a handy tool, or have I let my love of toys tools get the better of me?
