We are happy to let you know that our service http://digi.me/ is now publicly available (still in the beta phase though).
We would like to encourage you to give it a try and see how much more it has to offer compared to other social bookmarking services.
All the time, we are eager to hear from you, learn your suggestions, opinions, and problems you might have experienced when using wezelki.pl. Drop us an email at help@digi.me.
IMPORTANT: as a result of our improvements being implemented in the system, our bookmarklets have (slightly) changed. Please, make sure to install new browser plugins (bookmarklets) published at http://digi.me/plugins.jsp.
Tomorrow at 8 AM CEST digi.me will be available as a public beta. Make sure you register and give a chance to a better way of organizing you bookmarks.
We have updated the (probably most important) drop&tag bookmarklet (a button you install in your web browser).
Some of you have complained that the cancel option did not work as expected. It is fixed now; but you will need to install this bookmarklet once again – we apologize for the inconvenience.
We deliberately take this opportunity to remind you that this particular bookmarklet helps you to effortlessly bookmark and annotate interesting sites. You can easily add your tags and define folders to which you want to bookmark interesting sites without leaving the page you view.
We have delivered another recommendation widget in digi.me. It allows to you learn about the users related to the current view.
At the moment the widget is active when filtering by terms, searching, showing the content of the directory, or reading information about a bookmark.
New widget in digi.me shows related users to the currently viewed folder
Similar to the related terms widget, this widget shows only a limited number of related users. To view all related users you must click “show all” button.
We have just delivered a new widget in digi.me. It allows to you learn about the terms related to the current view.
At the moment the widget is active when filtering by terms, searching, showing the content of the directory, or reading information about a bookmark.
New widget in digi.me shows terms related to the currently viewed directory
At first, the widget shows only a limited number of related terms. To view all related terms you must click “show all” button.
In the previous part you learned how to install web browser buttons to better integrate digi.me into you knowledge gathering process. This part shows you how to start gathering knowledge by bookmarking interesting web resources, and by annotating them. Unlike other social bookmarking systems digi.me strives to help you to organize your knowledge better. We do not want you to simply drop (and loose) your bookmarks. We encourage you to keep the organized and as much annotated as possible. The first step to do so – is to create a hierarchy of folders representing your interests. You can create folders whenever you like by explicitly going to Your Bookmarks page in digi.me or by creating these folders during the bookmarking process. Let’s first see how you can create a folder. The movie below shows you how to create a folder, give it a title and a description, and finally how to use related concepts (from plethora of dictionaries delivered by digi.me) to annotate your folder.
You have probably noticed another difference to other social bookmarking sites: yes, we want you to be precise in the meaning of your annotations and we help you to be so. Why? There are certain goodies delivered in digi.me that help to organize and get the best out of the knowledge you have gathered. The more meaningful annotations you provide the better they will work for you. Once you have create a folder (or more) for your bookmarks you can go off to the Internet and start adding interesting sites. The first way to do that is to use the “Add to bookmarks” button. The movie below shows how to use it. When you click it – you will be transfered to Your Bookmarks page. There you can select one or many folders where this bookmark should be placed, provide your own title for this bookmark, add some textual description and tags (comma or space separated). Once you are done – you can easily go back to the web page you were reading.
And what to do when you have stumbled upon an interesting site, but none of your existing folders fits? The next movie shows you how to create a folder while bookmarking a web site.
In the previous part we have told you we have a solution for the times when you cannot spend time selecting folders, etc. during the bookmarking process. In that case you should use “Drop to inbox” button. The next video shows you how to easily “drop” interesting sites to the special Inbox folder in your bookmarks. It also shows you how you can later organize these bookmarks that ended up in the Inbox.
Finally, what if you would like to point the folder where the site should be bookmarked or add tags without going to the digi.me bookmarking site? The third button, “Tag into Inbox” is the right solution. When you click it, it will bring up a dialog. Simply provide tags (comma or space separated) you would like your bookmark to be tagged with. And if you remember the exact name of the folder add it with d: before the its name; in case the name has more than one words – put it in the quotation marks. The last movie in this tutorial shows you it works.
In this part you have learned how to bookmark and annotate information in digi.me. Following parts will show you what can you do with the collection of your bookmarks.
[lang_pl]Pewnie się zastanawiasz dlaczego rozpoczynamy nasz podręcznik od informacji o tym jak zainstalować przyciski w przeglądarce internetowej, zamiast opowiedzieć Ci o samych węzełkach.pl?
Powód jest prosty: będziesz z tych przycisków korzystał bardzo dużo, praktycznie za każdym razem kiedy będziesz korzystał z węzełków.pl. Te przycisk ułatwią Ci proces gromadzenia i dostępu do Twojej wiedzy.
Są cztery rodzaje przycisków:
- dodaj do ulubionych – kiedy odwiedzasz ciekawą stronę wystarczy, że klikniesz na ten przycisk a zostaniesz przeniesiony do Twoich ulubionych stron w węzełkach.pl. Tam będziesz mógł otagować tę stronę, podać dodatkowy opis i dodać tę stronę do wybranego (lub właśnie utworzonego) katalogu (lub katalogów). Kiedy skończysz, będziesz mógł powrócić do poprzedniej strony.
- wrzuć do digi.me – zdajemy sobie sprawę, że nie zawsze dysponujesz wystarczającą ilością czasu żeby przechodzić przez proces tagowania i klasyfikowania interesującej strony, na którą się właśnie natknąłeś. Nie przejmuj się. Wystarczy, że naciśniesz ten przycisk a w mgnieniu oka ta strona zostanie dodana to ulubionych w Twojej skrzynce odbiorczej w digi.me (niedługo opowiemy więcej na temat skrzynki odbiorczej)
- otaguj i wrzuć do digi.me – bywa też, że masz akurat tyle (i tylko tyle) czasu aby podać kilka tagów i wskazać odpowiednie katalogi. Oto rozwiązanie na takie sytuacje: naciśnij ten przycisk, dodaj tagi (oddzielone spacjami albo przecinkami) i podaj do których katalogów ma zostać dodana dana strona (poprzedź nazwę katalogu z d:, np.: d:“mój katalog”). I to wszystko.
- moje digi.me – a kiedy będziesz już chciał znaleźć coś w Twoich ulubionych lub uporządkować Twoją skrzynkę odbiorczą – naciśnij ten przycisk a zostaniesz przeniesiony do Twoich ulubionych stron w digi.me. Czyż nie jest to proste?
A teraz, informacja jak możesz zainstalować te przyciski.
Jeżeli używasz Firefoxa, Safari, Chrome, Opery lub podobnej przeglądarki – wystarczy że przeciągniesz łącza (ze strony z dodatkami do przeglądarek) z poszczególnymi przyciskami na pasek zakładek w Twojej przeglądarce internetowej. Filmik poniżej pokazuje jak to zrobić (aby obejrzeć na pełnym ekranie kliknij przycisk w prawym dolnym rogu filmiku).
W przypadku gdy nadal korzystasz z Internet Explorera – wystarczy, że zainstalujesz Przyciski do tworzenia zakładek w digi.me ze strony z dodatkami do przeglądarek. Filmik poniżej pokazuje w jaki sposób zrobić to krok po kroku (aby obejrzeć na pełnym ekranie kliknij przycisk w prawym dolnym rogu filmiku).
Jesteś już gotowy do rozpoczęcia przygody z węzełkami.pl. Oczywiście jest dużo więcej co możemy zaoferować – ale najpierw pokażemy Ci, w następnej części przewodnika, jak korzystać z tych przycisków.[/lang_pl][lang_en]You might wonder why we start our tutorial from telling you about installing buttons in the web browser? Instead of telling you about how to use digi.me itself?
The reason is that these buttons will come insensible in your everyday use of digi.me. They will streamline the process of gathering and accessing your knowledge.
There are four buttons:
- post to digi.me – when you visit a site you like click this button and you will be brought to the bookmarks page. There you can tag this page, add some additional description and bookmark this page into selected (or newly created) folder (or folders). Afterwords you will be able to go back to the page you have just bookmarked.
- drop to digi.me – we know that not always you have the luxury of spare time to tag and classify interesting sites you have stumbled upon. No worries. Just hit this button and in a blink of an eye the interesting site will be bookmarked in your Inbox (you will learn about it in following tutorials).
- tag into digi.me – sometimes you have just enough time to come up with a few tags or thing about folders, or both, where to bookmark the visited site. Here is the solution for that situation: hit this button, add tags (space or coma separated) and names of the folders (prepended with d:, e,g,. d:“my folder”) to where that site should be bookmarked. Your done.
- my digi.me – when you want to find something in your bookmarks or organize your Inbox – press this button and you will be transfered to the bookmarks page in digi.me. Simple as that.
Now, here is how you can install them.
If you use Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera, or a similar browser – simply drag and drop the links (from the browser addons page) with each button to your bookmarks bar in your web browser. The movie below shows you how (to view in the full screen mode, please, click the button in the lower right corner of the movie).
In case you are stuck with Internet Explorer – simply install All digi.me buttons in one pack from the browser addons page. The movie below will show you how to do that step by step (to view in the full screen mode, please, click the button in the lower right corner of the movie).
Now, you are all set to start using digi.me. There is more to come, but first, in the next part, we will show you how to use these web browser buttons.[/lang_en]
We know, you have been waiting very long, but finally your ordeal is over.
You can now access digi.me as “Private Beta”.
From now on, you can start gathering your knowledge, share it with your friends and get to know about interesting sites.
We invite you to register to our system at http://digi.me/register.
But please remember, that at the moment digi.me are still in the beta phase; it means that from time to time you might experience small problems.
We strive to make sure that these problems will not occur too often.
