Diigo is a tool used for curating the platforms used online to do research.  It is a way to take the pages and resources found on websites, and sort them into organized areas. Once they have been labeled, they can be shared with others.  This is a really great way to organize yourself online, instead of relying on saving tabs or bookmarking favourite pages, which end up just being jumbled into one big mess that has to be sorted through when looking for something.

It is not only a time saver, but a way to really keep yourself organized.

Taken from the Diigo website:

‘Collect: Save and tag your online resources

Annotate: Annotate web pages and PDFs directly as you browse

Organize: Organize your links, references, and personal input to create a structured research base through outline

Share: Share your research with friends, classmates, colleagues or associates

Bookmarks, Tags, Personal Library, Highlights, Sticky Notes, Outliner, Groups, Archived Wed Pages

You can save a bookmark for the website you’re on, save a description etc. You can save to an outliner and save to a group, as well as save as public or private.’

 

This is something I’ve never even heard of before, but I am glad I know about it now.  I will be passing on this information about Diigo to friends, as it is an amazing way to staying organized.
