Sidebar Flashes
I’m experimenting with a widget that embeds a Diigo rss for bookmarks. In turn, those bookmarks are part of a netdynam account created today. I’ll share the user info. The bookmarks are public.
The capability I am investigating is what is needed to support posting interesting content on the sidebar; content that doesn’t earn a full post in the eyes of the author. There are other alternatives too, because WordPress provides lots of widgetized capabilities via 3rd party widgets.
I chose Diigo for several reasons. I have been using it since before its beta test years ago. More to the point of capability, like most social bookmarking sets, Diigo allows one to annotate and tag links in real time, while one is at the target page of interest, and do this through a nicely implemented browser toolbar java script. Diigo’s implementation has always seemed very solid.
I’ve demoted the toy tag cloud temporarily and elevated the Diigo rss. I’ll probably try some other options.
I’ve been pondering a 3 column theme too. Not any particular one, but, sketching out how the structure of usability might benefit better defined clusters.
(Admins will receive the Diigo user info tomorrow.)
