find+attract

Diigo has long been a favorite tool of mine for bookmarking and collaboration. Diigo easily passes my criteria for adding a tool to my toolbox. The tools I use have to do a number of things beyond basic stability and usability:

1. Save time by automating manual stuff, or taking advantage of work I'm already doing.

2. The tool or mashup has to be easy and quick to use. One or two clicks, less than 30 seconds.

3. Foster real connection, collaboration and participation.

Now Diigo has added another reason to love them, integration with Wordpress, (and other blogging platforms).

Why should you care?

In December I opened a group in Diigo as an offshoot of this blog. The group is open to anyone to join. Its purpose is to bookmark anything found on line related to sourcing, recruiting, staffing, talent management, employment branding, or tools for any of the above.

So as I do my usual work of discovery via Twitter, my RSS reader, alerts I've set up or just browsing, I'm bookmarking these things to the find+attract diigo group. I've set up Diigo to publish a draft to my blog of the weekly bookmarking activity in the group. On Mondays, I'll review the draft post and publish it.

So if you're an active Diigo user you can contribute to the content that gets posted on Find+Attract.

If you're not an active user, but just want to browse the bookmarks of people in the sourcing and recruiting industry, just follow along on my blog.

Either way, I hope its useful to you. As always, tell me if its not.

Right now the 'group' consists of myself and Charles Bretz. Thanks Charles!
