  • Diigo is a research tool that rocks

      • When you highlight a word on any page a drop down menu automatically appears
        (see image below) that lets you:


        • search for the highlighted words on the web with any of four search engines
        • search for highlighted terms in four social bookmarking systems
        • do a blog search for highlighted terms
        • search for your terms in the entire site you are on (Google, Yahoo, Ask
          site: search)
        • search for inbound links to the URL you are on in four different search
          engines (including Technorati and Google)
        • search for your highlighted terms in seven different verticals from local to
          TV to stocks
    • This drop down menu is also one of many places you can take highlighted text
      directly to a blog post in a number of hosted blogging platforms with APIs

      and turning writing into “schooliness.”
