Create Your On-line Library

If you are also a fan of technology and love reading on-line instead of holding heavy books. DIIGO is an amazing site for you. Just quickly sign up a free account for it, then you will have a cloud library. The best part of Diigo is that you can make on-line notes and highlight lines right on the sites when you visit any websites, and all the notes you made will be saved once and forever! Then you can bookmark the websites you would like to visit some day again and share them with your friends. For convenience, you can put tags on every site so all the websites you collected are organized into lists according to tags. You can also explore new sites by following others' diggo and make new friends who share the same interests!

If you are a expressionist, then Diigo seems a little bit plain. Try Scoop.it! With Scoop.it, you can save your favorite websites with fancy title pictures and show them all on a 'photo wall'; isn't it fancier to watch your collections show off than simply get a list? What's more, Scoop.it will automatically provide you suggestion about websites according to your topic key words. You can do all the same stuffs that you can do on Diggo, like commenting websites, giving tags, following friends, EXCEPT you can't make on-line notes or highlight lines :( What a pity! But at least you have a fancy collection websites :)

I would suggest Diigo to those who consider more on working convenience using mobile devices; and Scoop.it is the best choice for those who want to make a social net work while collecting web resources. Anyway, the best way to figure out which one is your thing is check them out yourself!
