Hello,

As a fan of social bookmarking, I set up the group "Everything Mahara" on Diigo which we can use to share bookmarks that deal with Mahara, e.g. links to portfolio web sites that use Mahara, tutorials, web pages that mention Mahara, presentations online etc. I specifically set it up as a Mahara group and not an e-portfolio group because if we collect everything on e-portfolios, the Mahara resources may drown.

I started to put first links into the group, but it would be great if others could also add their own bookmarks. The easiest way to do that once you have created a Diigo account and got accepted into the group is to install the Diigo toolbar. Whenever you bookmark a Mahara resource, you can immediately share it with a group, in our case the "Everything Mahara" group (You can also share it with multiple groups.). It helps to find this bookmark if you tag it.

Once you have selected the group you want to share your bookmark with, tags that have already been used in the group are recommended to you. You can also provide a description about the resource. That is particularly useful if the title of the web page does not provide a whole lot of information about the web page content. If you are stuck somewhere in Diigo, you may want to check out their help.

A note on alert settings: The default settings for alerts on new content in the group is "immediate". That means you will get an email shortly after somebody added a resource. If you do not want to receive that email or change the settings to an email once a day or once a week to keep tabs on new additions to the group, please change your alert settings on the web page of the group.

Cheers
Kristina
