Have you ever wanted to leave a comment on a web page that doesn’t allow for comments? Or would you like your comment in a more prominent place than comment #15 at the bottom of the page (”keep scrolling…..there’s my comment”). Diigo lets you do that.

What better way to support or refute something someone has written than putting it right there next to the quote?

High quality, topical links are the backbone of any blog worth its salt.
These lists can be used to promote traffic and they also establish the blogger as an expert in their field.
