Sourcing from Diigo
Sourcing from Diigo ( Digest of Internet Information Groups & Other Stuff ).
My good friend Tim O’Connorwho is currently the Strategic Sourcing Lead for Capgemini is doing a presentation at ERE on sourcing /searching active/passive people from DiiGO.
A true web 2.0 phenomenon ;the first time I heard about Diiggo was through Jim Stroud and had been fan of them since the days when CNET rated Diigo as the 10 best research tool. I have used DiiGO to do many of my research projects and a little bit of sourcing.
Tim's presentation (April 2nd- SanDiego) would take you to the next level on how to set up your searches on Diigo, searching people, searching with tags, keeping notes-all these without taking any space on your harddisk and finally sharing the results (profiles/resumes/links) with your team.
Don't miss his presentation and forget to say hello if you are at ERE.
I will explain the step by step process in coming weeks.. A big thanks Tim for sharing his idea.
New at this process

I've been using Diigo extensively and it is much more than your typical “social bookmarking” site. To view it as such would be a huge mistake. Diigo’s V3 release is a MUST HAVE (FREE) web application for anyone who either works (or plays) on the internet.
As for the Research (Sourcing/Recruiting) Professional, we can all agree that mining the web for data can be an extremely daunting task given the massive amount of information available. Whether we are merely surfing the web, sourcing for resumes or conducting competitive intelligence, the question is: How do you capture all this wonderful data, create online sticky-notes (reminders), keep it all organized, easily retrievable, simultaneously share (real-time) content with peers or an entire community, and oh by the way do this without your personal computer from anywhere in the world? One answer: Diigo. By accessing ANY available computer, Diigo can offer its users all this functionality and much more. Yeah, I suppose someone out there could quickly argue that there are easily hundreds of other book-marking sites, online clipping services, etc. that offer similar functionality-right? That’s true to some extent; however, you will not find one that currently offers the full suite of solutions and rich functionality that Diigo offers and is still (free).
Tim O’Connor is a good friend and sourcing stud, I know his demo will be a smash hit at ERE!
