  • Diigo 3.85 (A/A-)
    
    Diigo is by far the most fully featured social bookmarking site in this list, and offers several unique capabilities. The most notable feature is that users can highlight text right on the page, as well as make annotations via a “sticky note” for later viewing.
    
    There are also other very useful features. I particularly liked the sophisticated and advanced search option for doing a keyword search of one’s own or public bookmarks. On that page you can limit a search by a phrase, and restrict a search to a URL, title, comments or highlights. You can even search “on” specific users as well
    
    Note that when you place a “sticky note” to comment on a page for your later viewing, that note is viewable by anyone else in the Diigo community that views that page too! .
    
    There are some other interesting and unique features on Diigo. For instance, when highlighting a word on any page with Diigo’s bookmarking tool, a drop down menu automatically appears that allows users to search for that highlighted word on various search engines, social bookmarking sites; blogs, on the active site and more. I also had much more control in formatting when saving a page; and had an option to forward the page to another person as well.
    
    What about the all important group feature? Well, Diigo rounds out its offerings very nicely by just this month launching its “Groups” function. That feature looks to be a clear and elegant way to allow anyone to set up a private environment for sharing your bookmarks. Ultimately, if you combine the Web annotation capabilities with the ability to share in groups, Diigo has created a very enterprise friendly social bookmarking service. And, according to a spokesperson at the firm, this Groups function is “just the first of many more advanced group collaboration functions that we will be introducing in several phases” So we look forward to staying tuned!

  diigo review

  • Social Bookmarking For Enterprise Knowledge Management
  • the four most important criteria for a social bookmarking sites’ applicability to internal/enterprise searching:
    
    1. Group function capability. How easy is it to create a new group? Can the group remain private? Other group features?
    
    2. Research value. How much of a page can be saved; are there advanced and precision search features?
    
    3. Design/Interface/Ease of Use. Is it a pleasant experience to view and use the site? Does it show evidence of being intelligently thought out and designed?
    
    4. Fully Featured. In the Knowledge Management supplement, I focused on these features:
    
    • Ability to create an RSS Feed
    • Surfacing of “related tags”
    • Surfacing of “related users”
    • Tag suggestions
    • Tag cloud
    • Import/export bookmarks
    • Ability to crate larger “topics” or hierarchical categories
  • 2 more annotations...
  • • the ability to create your own customized group where you could share your bookmarks within a own defined group—such as a workforce team, department, project team, or any other defined group. That article provided a list of social bookmarking firms that fit that criteria, and included a detailed feature comparison chart
