Diigo sandbox in elluminate in 1 1/2 hours. Will send link when things are set up.

Thanks for setting this up Lisa! Family is up and it's time to get the day started. I'll watch the recording when I get the chance, maybe later tonight. ;-)

Cheers!

Thank you Lisa for organizing and setting this up. And thanks for everyone's time to learn about Diigo.

Few recommendations for a step-by-step exploration of diigo (not all at once, but at your own leisure pace):

1) First. check out the intro video on the homepage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RvAkTuL02A

Start using Diigo with the very basic functionalities first -- bookmark and highlight. You may even consider using diigolet first before trying the toolbar.

Advantage of the diigolet is that it can be just simple drag and drop, no installation needed, and it's compatible with all browsers. Once you're familiar with these basic functions, then you can try the Diigo toolbar which is a lot more powerful and fully customizable.

2) Editing, managing and searching bookmarks & tags are extremely easy in Diigo. Please give that a try - here are some tips http://help.diigo.com/How-To_Guide/Managing_Bookmarks

3) Once you master the basics, and would like to explore diigo more, check out this very simple Site Tour for an overview: http://help.diigo.com/Getting_Started/Take_A_Site_Tour

4) List & Webslides (optional) are very powerful function to organize, share and present a specific collection of bookmarks. Try that next.

5) Groups (optional) - good way to collaborate with others. If you are a group creator, make sure you explore the "Group Tag Dictionary"

6) Widgets (optional) - if you have a blog, try "blogthis" - great time saver! If you want to explore further, check out other tools in http://www.diigo.com/tools

7) Send / Share - Diigo offers various ways to share info. It's not necessary to invite friends into diigo to start sharing. You can start by forwarding your discovery to others via email first. So use Send >> Email or you can also share info to a group of friends in Diigo directly.

8) Friends (optional) - check out http://help.diigo.com/How-To_Guide/Friends

Diigo is full of subtle yet very powerful functions throughout. I can also share many other advanced tips later. But those are good step-by-step to gradually get your feet wet with diigo first.

Hope this helps somewhat.

Maggie--good stuff so far!

I wonder if we're ever going to be able to import our sites from delicious in bundles. I brought all the book marks over, but they're out of their bundles and it seems a pain in the butt to re-list each site. I can start with my new sites, but jeesh.

Just some feedback. It may not be possible, but would be helpful.

Hi Ginger,

Good question and thanks for clarifying. I misunderstood Lisa's question about tag bundle during the session when she was referring to a "list". There is a "structure" difference - I will double check with our team to see what are some of issues involved here.
