I’m pretty good at systematics of plants…UTSA Woody Plants and Biology of Flowering plants served me well!

But…and it’s a big but…I’m finding it very hard to classify and categorized digital technology.

If I’m using a screencast for training, should it be with the digital technologies or collaborative tools?   And what about Youtube, if I’ve just created a series of training videos, is that social media or collaborations?   Yes?!?   Oh the overlap!

Anyway, I just created a page for Diigo; my current favorite web site. It’s a place to bookmark, share, tag, and sort your favorite web sites, which could make it a social media site.   …but, I can create groups, say of coworkers, and we can share sites found while working on a project, that would make it a collaborative site.  So, is Diigo a social media site or a collaborative site?  See the struggle?

So, as I continue to explore and share, you may see links for the same tool or format in different categories, or linked to different categories, this way I don’t drive myself mad trying to make them fit into just one category.   …have patience with me…
