First Impressions of Social Bookmarking and Diigo

When first considering social bookmarking, I have to admit that I was not sure that the concept was something that I would be able to use in my daily activities, simply because I am not really a person that participates/ uses various social networks on a routine basis. This class was my first adventure using many of these tools and I did not imagine that I could ever really utilize social bookmarking features. As I established my account and began to learn more about Diigo yesterday, I found that this tool might have changed my perspective on the benefits of social bookmarking. I like the fact that I can access bookmarked sites from anywhere instead of them just being saved on my home computer. In addition, I can see how sharing sites and information with others can really be useful. I think in many ways, being able to see a lists of sites and resources that other individuals have found helpful is great because it can provide me access to information that I might not be able to find in my own research. I know that I have not yet learned everything about social bookmarking, but my experience using Diigo has been positive thus far.
