Slides AT Diigo

So Diigo allows to to create a recorded movie of pre-selected websites. It's kinda funky at first, but you eventually get the hang of it. Mine is only OK, I'll eventually add some links of others of better quality.

To get started, you need to visit Diigo.com to create an account. It's similar to the other social bookmarking sites like Digg or Del.icio.us where you can download plug-ins to capture the URL's you want to track.

Diigo allows you to create lists of URLs which group your websites by topic. So consider a list of 15 websites on Web 2.0. When complete, you can go to Diigo which creates a running movie file of your websites.

Diigo downloads the newest version of the webpage on each load, so users see the page in real-time. What I liked most is the ability to narrate the slideshow movie and even control how long each page will stay on the screen (the default is 10 seconds).


Below is my maiden voyage of Diigo. I'm going to use it in the Spring semester.
