StreamDiff Is A Refreshing View Of Facebook

by Andy Brudtkuhl on September 30, 2009

Honestly – I’ve never really liked Facebook but the writing is on the wall (no pun intended) – it’s not going away any time soon. And since their acquisition of FriendFeed I’ve been spending more and more time there. I really hate all the games, apps, invitations, events, etc. All these things distract me from what is valuable – the content and conversation.

Enter StreamDiff, which gives you a FriendFeed-like view into the world of Facebook – without all the extremely annoying crap that comes along with it.

Oh, and you can connect with me on Facebook if you want!

Diigo Learning Networks Is Very FriendFeed

by Andy Brudtkuhl on September 29, 2009

Diigo Learning Networks is a new feature in the latest release that is very much like FriendFeed. It’s basically a real-time stream of content that your network is tagging in Diigo. Beyond that you have similar features such as like, preview, and comment.

Diigo Version 4 Released

by Andy Brudtkuhl on September 29, 2009

Diigo 4I use Diigo every day and love it. It’s more than a social bookmarking tool – it’s a research, community, and content distribution tool as well. I’ve been in on the private alpha phase for Diigo 4 for some months now and am happy to see their announcement and blog post.

Sometime soon I’ll share my Diigo workflow with you but for now, check out the new features.

New features include:

1. New UI
Cleaner look and better usability.

2. Snapshots

“The established approach to bookmarking is complemented by Diigo’s version 4′s new archiving capability to capture and archive entire web pages — even dynamic and password-protected content”

3. Improved Search
The new search is very powerful. You can search by tags and notes – but now you can search by full text!

4. Real-Time Learning Networks
FriendFeed style network where you can like, save, and comment in real time as people in your network bookmark items. This is a HUGE feature and one of my favorites in 4.0 release.

5. Group Enhancements
Improved group support for collaboration. I love their group support and have been using it for a long time for our Web Strategy Blog for a community platform.

6. iPhone App
Which of course is waiting for approval from the App Store. The iPhone app lets users access their Diigo libraries and download stuff for offline browsing.

Much Much More
