DIIGO allows you to access information you have stored online from anywhere-not just your home computer. It allows articles to be highlighted to reflect on significant passages or ideas. This is an excellent tool for remembering significant pieces form the articles. The layout of DIIGO is very straightforward and easy to navigate. Websites are listed on your home library and are easily accessible to your followers. DIIGO also allows for very easy annotation and website addition to your library, so it is easy to continue to add new articles, websites and ideas.
Scoop it is slightly different than DIIGO. Although it too is an information sharing platform the set up is much different. I found Scoop it more of a challenge to figure out how to use than DIIGO. The styles are very different. For Scoop it you can create ideas or topics and then it assists you in finding websites, videos and other URL related material to add to your topic, learn about and share with others. Although it is a slightly more complicated procedure to get started, overall I think the potential to learn and discover new information is higher with Scoop it.
Overall both platforms are very good resources for gathering good ideas and web sources I think that Scoop it does a better job of producing new material to discover. As DIIGO makes it easy to annotate found information it doesn't actively help you discover new information. Scoop it helps you to find new and relevant information based on the topic you have created. However if I had to choose only one to use in the future I would choose DIIGO for it simplistic layout and for the fact I am always looking for constructive ways to store websites and internet resources in a well organized manner.
Diigo is my favorite too!
