Web 2.0 Task – Blog v html
Choosing between the Diigo NET11 site and html site would depend on how I was wanting to use the information contained in both sites.
The Diigo site appears to be a random collection of bookmarked blogs that may have information relating to the NET11 Communications course.
However, the setup of the blogs made it difficult to ascertain their substance without actually clicking into and reading each of the blogs. The blogs range from postings by students from previous semesters to very useful articles on topics relevant to the course.
However, it was only when I sorted the blogs by TAGS that I was able to locate why some of these blogs were relevant.
On the positive side, the set up of the Diigo site was defintely more “user friendly” and the ability to sort the information made it easier and quicker to locate the relevant articles.
The html site appeared to be simply a list of links that were in no particular order.
It would take some time to locate the link that you required, but if using this site for research, I found it to be more relevant to the course material than the Diigo site.
In part this was due to the fact that the description of the links were more relevant to the subject matter.
As mentioned above, a negative would be that it is impossible to sort this data. Therefore it is more time consuming to read each link description in order to work out if it relates to you topic. For example, links relating to Web 2.0 are located throughout the site.
Enjoyed the video on Web 2.0 by Stephen Fry.
