Comparing "Diigo" and "Scoop It"

     I very much  prefer "Scoop it."
     Although "Diigo" and "Scoop It" are both wonderful ways to organize and archive information, I wish I could get rid of the continuous pop-up adds on Diigo.   I like the Diigo sticky notes, highlighting options and the multiple tags, but "Scoop it"   features multiple tag options which are most important to me. On both "Diigo" and"Scoop it"  I  follow others and others can follow me, as well as post comments.  Copying and pasting information from the original article to my remarks about a site  is possible on both social bookmarking sites.  I preferred  writing my insights and ideas on "Scoop it" bookmarks  rather than describing each particular site I bookmarked as was the situation with "Diigo."   There is a heavier emphasis on "Scoop It" to focus on a topic which is another reason I preferred it.  I noticed that the more specific my title and tags were, the more information I found.   There were numerous suggestions  related to my topics  on "Scoop it" whereas there were not on the "Diigo" site.
     I would from now on, absolutely be more apt to use "Scoop it" and not "Diigo."  I preferred the appearance of  "Scoop it" because of the images.  "Diigo" was simply a list and therefore did not look as interesting.  The "Diigo" pop-up ads, especially the ones about making changes to the hard drive of my computer, were annoying and downright  nerve-racking.  Perhaps I might change my mind when I become more computer savvy.
