I Am Liking Diigo (not so much right now)

NOOOOOO! Nertz and a half! I wrote the stuff below because the feed to Blogger set up and showed as valid. However the post failed, no matter what I tried. In teh Diigo help forums there is info that the new Blogger (formerly Blogger Beta) uses a new authentication system that will not let Diigo in. Concept outlined below is still valid.

I am liking the bookmarking tool Diigo that I first read about in Will Richardson's blog. I have a lot more learning to go but one feature I really like is that I can use it to post to two blogs at the same time. I am running two professional blogs. One is blogspot (Google technology )based, the other is edublog based (Word Press based) I have been going back and forth as I see more and more educational bloggers reference tools that are good on both. A goal I have theis year is to "professionally blog" more, I was thinking that I would have to choose. Now I think I don't. I can use the Diigo feature to link to my blogs.

The other piece that I like is that as part of the Diigo toolbar there is a "Blog This" tool that allows me to see something and quickly post it to my blogs (I know, I know, other tools can do this but sometimes the puzzle pieces don't click into an ah-ha moment for me for a while. This one did it.) I am doing more and more of this as I read and see something interesting, I'd like to quickly blog it and share it.
