I did not realize that Digg did not fall in the same category. I thought the similar names were intentional. And yes, you are right, I was not using Diigo that long ago. Actually, I referred to all your blog posts, because I did a search, not just to this post (which you could not know). ;-) Thank you so much for your detailed answer despite my ignorance.

Let me pose a question: were YOU using Diigo 14 months ago? ;) ) As far as the list of social media, though, good point. I'll have to add it. I have no idea why it was overlooked. Also, one final point: Digg and Diigo are *completely* different beasts. Digg is social news; Diigo is social bookmarking (which is lumped in with delicious). I honestly couldn't say much about delicious in this type of blog post either -- it just didn't fit for the type of picture I was trying to paint. The idea was more about realtime news, and social bookmarking, in my eyes, fits better for referential pieces but not necessarily <i>timely</i> pieces. That's why I talk about how StumbleUpon doesn't quite work for me (and yes, SU is more of a social bookmarking beast than a social news one). Hope that clarifies where I'm coming from! :) Hi Jutta,

Good question, but let’s back up and consider when I wrote this post (January 2008) :) I didn’t use Diigo in January ‘08 nor does it really meet the criteria required of this post (it’s not THAT heavily used to actually fit the bill for news consumption and I’m not sure I’d have much positive things to say about it for the purposes of this post — Diigo simply isn’t used heavily to warrant a mention in this capacity, and it *certainly* wasn’t used that often in January ‘08 either. Let me pose a question: were YOU using Diigo 14 months ago? ;) )

As far as the list of social media, though, good point. I’ll have to add it. I have no idea why it was overlooked.

Lots of interesting stuff. I noticed that you never mention Diigo. It's not even on your list of social media. Why? I found it more convenient for saving interesting links than going through the lengthy Digg procedure. Hi Tamar, I just discovered your blog through a Tweet. Lots of interesting stuff.
