I would just like to begin by noting that, contrary to what the folks at Diigo would have users believe, the concept of synchronizing bookmarks across multiple devices and platforms is nothing new. Services such as MobileMe have offered this capability for years, allowing subscribers to synchronize bookmarks, email, personal data files, and contacts across any number of Macs, PCs and even mobile devices. This data is stored in "the cloud" making it available from anywhere. So, you see, the sharing of bookmarks is not new to Web 2.0 technologies!
That off my chest, I have added the Wet Paint Castle Spoilers page to my bookmarks as I am a great fan of the television show. Who couldn't love fellow Canuck, Nathion Fillion, or the cute a button host of the Wet Paint Entertainment video blogs, Jager Weatherby? I tagged this bookmark with Castle and Spoilers. Very imaginative, I know.
I tried to tag Gary Allan High School's homepage, garyallan.ca, however, the page is created in frames and the Diigo Add Bookmark window comes up truncated within the page's banner, making navigating it impossible. <sigh>
I also bookmarked the Apple Homepage and tagged it, Apple and Mac. Again, very imaginative, I know, but I was eager to get to the Mac App Store and download the new Mac OS Lion that was released today!!! I should add the tag, Wahoo!!!
Will I continue to use the Diigo service once this course is complete? Not really sure yet. I'm not overly excited about it yet, but really haven't given it a fair shake yet, either, so I'll reserve judgement on that for now...
