Amplify is a new tool and I like the UI and a few features. I am not sure if everyone will like it. I prefer Amplify to Diigo. Reverse might be the case with many.

This helps me stay focussed on the tools I really, really need. Given that someone may already be using Delicious or Diigo, is there a separate reason to use Amplify? You see I'm signed on to the tool, but given that I'm already stretched on time, I haven't had the energy to play around with the tool.

The thing I like most about it is that it allows you to push out a piece of content (article, video, web site, still image), to your Twitter, Facebook, Delicious (and a bunch more) accounts, saving you time from having to manually cross post. And, because it's so easy to use as you point out in your review, I tend to make many more posts than pre-Amplify days. It's become a valuable tool in my social media arsenal.

I'd also recommend another great service, Diigo, which allows highlighting and sharing. I use both daily, and have them linked - my Amplify posts automatically save as Diigo bookmarks as well as posting to Twitter and/or Posterous (another great service) if I choose. Another great reason to use Amplify is that the team that developed it are really responsive to the user community - very, very friendly and helpful.

I found Amplify extremely useful when I first started using it. I have written about how I use it as one of my PKM tools in the following post: <a href="http://idreflections.blogspot.com/2010/02/my-learning-tools.html" rel="nofollow">http://idreflections.blogspot.com/2010/02/my-learning-tools.html</a> Rupa, thank you for expanding my understanding of the use of Amplify.
