Diigo

For thing 10 I looked at Diigo, for me it is not something that i would ever need.  Outside of work I do not use the Internet that much and I think it would mostly be a waste from a personnel point of view.  From a work point of view I can see the benefit particularly from a research point of view to share information.

At present i keep track of any regularly visited websites the way that i have always done (through my web browser), given that there isn't that many of them I don't even have to do much organising and i don't tag or share them.

On the Diigo homepage there are feature tools for Ipad, Iphone, Android and web browsers but i did not see any on Delicious, not to say that they are not there but I could see them straight away on Diigo. ( whose website i preferred)


Pinterest

I chose Pinterest for this thing as it seemed to be the the one i would most likely find Pinteresting (lame i know).  I have to say that i found it a little difficult, you click on a picture and i takes you to another picture and at first i got somewhat lost.  I am a bit more comfortable with it now but it is something that would take some time for me. 


I finished my exploring by looking at Sarah & Jo’s “Pin Your Library” board and i found that this was a really good example of how Pinterest could be used for a library.  It think it is a good mix of providing library information and some fun topics, i particlarly liked Pinterest humour board where i got the picture below and the Augmented reality board.
