Diigo vs. Scoop.it

 Diigo may be unfamiliar with lots of people, at least it’s the first time for me to use this web management tool. Traditionally, I use internet explorer to save and manage all the frequently used web pages. However, I can only find the web sites on my own computer, and also it’s hard to share all the interesting findings with friends. Diigo is easy to manage all your web sites too, but it can do more than traditional explorer, you can find them on all your devices and you can personalize your bookmarks by adding multiple tags for each one. Moreover, by following your friends’ diigo, you can easily surf the websites they collect and give them comment.
Scoop.it is another useful social web tool, it’s more like a blog that allow you to display websites and articles you would like to share with others. Also, it has many suggestions in the field you are searching for, which means you can get more than you’ve ordered at the same time. But this feature is not always that useful, the suggestions it offered are not targeted that it might be a waste of time if you read them all.

In the future, I will continue to use these two tools. Diigo is better for managing websites while Scoop.it is better for searching materials and articles.

  1. I agree with you that Scoopit often suggests sites which are not narrowly selected for one's needs.
