Secrets of a Diigo Power User Tips & Tricks for Managing your Diigo Group
Diigo Groups • Over 4,800 Education Groups on Diigo • Groups are individuals with common interests that center around key topics. • Generally, opened to everyone but there are also closed groups like classroom groups • Group Roles: Moderator, Participant, Lurker. • Group Moderators/Owners handle group maintenance chores.
Diigo Group Moderator Roles • Accept members into the group • Notify Diigo of spammers • Delete inappropriate posts • Create tag dictionaries • Do clean-up work on tags where there are spelling errors, redundancies, etc. • Provide many of the bookmarks to keep the group fresh
Assign your group a common tag to use in EVERY posting. This will make it easier to create a “tag roll” feed into your web site.
Create a Tag Dictionary to enforce tagging consistency in your group
A Tag Dictionary makes it easier on your users by offering pre-slugged tag choices.
