After a long search and great confusion over which one of many tools I would
start to use and encourage others to do I started to use Faviki (because of
its tie in to Wikipedia / Dbpedia) easy to export my delicious bookmarks
(although it will take a few days for them to appear there)
http://www.faviki.com/person/Darren

Really I was looking for something where bookmarks could be rated and
discussed (with a smaller groups focus rather than with the whole
bookmarking tool user base) but couldn't find anything that appeared to be
suitable.

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_804653.html

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-downes%2Fconnectivism-and-connecti_b_804653.html?tab=comment

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?

Hey Darren,

this is all great stuff!
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
