Today I found http://www.diigo.com/profile/dazinism which looked like it would be good for the job. You can highlight text, leave stickynotes on the page, discuss the page. Looking good. To illustrate the concept with a recent pertinent Huffingtonpost article - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/stephen-downes/connectivism-and-connecti_b_804... and (if it works for you, as I guess it may not if you are not registered on Diigo?) viewed through Diigo http://www.diigo.com/bookmark/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffingtonpost.com%2Fstephen-... All was looking good.... ... and then I found http://www.pearltrees.com/ ...now I'm confused again..... but I think I'm going to concentrate on using Diigo for now. Anyone else got any thoughts on this? -- ------------------ Coalition of the Willing ------------------ The Coalition occupies several spaces for communication and action.

Thank you for remixing that nicely for us. I recommend to all the article about connectivism (the one at Huffingtonpost). It was a wonderful read, and finally implanted this image inside me: that all interaction between people is like a giant brain learning! As for social (and individual) bookmarks, this is also something I am clearly at my limits with and would like to find a better solution. Diigo is great but I understand you can only watch those annotations etc. if you see the same page through diigo? And how does it work if you are looking in bookmarks by topic, by name, or by country, etc.? pearltrees are indeed very beautiful and the way I'd like to see info structured! they're not usable yet though? Is this a general need? I think tav's new application is going this way, but I am not sure it would be simple to use... I'd like to keep an eye on this, along with the events proposal it might evoke some useful coding thanks fabio 2011/1/7 Darren Hill <[email protected]> -- P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net Connect: http://p2pfoundation.ning.com; Discuss: http://listcultures.org/mailman/listinfo/p2presearch_listcultures.org Updates: http://del.icio.us/mbauwens; http://friendfeed.com/mbauwens; http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens Think tank: http://www.asianforesightinstitute.org/index.php/eng/The-AFI
