Diigo is really more like a mash-up of social bookmarking and social networking. It is as if Facebook and del.icio.us had a child and named it Diigo.</p> <p>Like del.icio.us, Diigo allows you to post your bookmarks online, tag them and share them. However, Diigo allows to to create a network of friends and see what their recent activity is - much easier to see the new items bookmarked by your friends than in del.icio.us. There is also a comment wall which allows for friends to engage in conversation or discussion about sites. Additionally, Diigo allows you to create lists in addition to tags. Tags allow for a dynamic set of resources to be viewed. Lists allow you to create a static set of resources when necessary. It is another option for organizing bookmarked sites. You can also designate sites as favorites.</p> <p>Finally, Diigo allows you to create groups so that people who might have something in common can share bookmarks with the group that they think the other members of the group might find interesting. Diigo is quickly becoming a favorite resource from what I can tell by listening in the twitterverse. Good site to check out. </p></div></p><p><div class="content"><p>Thanks for a great post. Interesting “analogy” <img class="wp-smiley" src="http://pargonet.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> </p> <p>Like to add: Diigo’s web annotation (the ability to add highlight, sticky notes) to any part of a webpage is another very unique and core competence of Diigo’s offerings. As you read on the web, instead of just bookmarking, you can highlight portions of web pages that are of particular interest to you. You can also attach sticky notes to specific parts of web pages. Unlike most other web “highlighters” that merely clip, Diigo highlights and sticky notes are persistent in the sense that whenever you return to the original web page, you will see your highlights and sticky notes superimposed on the original page, just what you would expect if you highlighted or wrote on a book!</p> <p>Moreover, all the information — highlighted paragraphs, sticky notes, and the original url — are saved on Diigo servers, creating your personal digest of the web, your own collection of highlights from the web - ones that are meaningful to you! </p></div></p><p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/diigo' rel='tag'>diigo</a> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/review' rel='tag'>review</a> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/v3' rel='tag'>v3</a> </p><p><strong>Posted by:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo'>maggie_diigo</a></p> Fri, 04 Apr 2008 19:08:57 -0000 http://www.searchenginejournal.com/diigo-the-end-of-bookmarks/6608 <p></p><p><strong>Highlights and Sticky Notes:</strong><p><div class="content"><p>Whether Web 2.0 actually ever existed is irrelevant, but the innovation brought to us these last two years is undeniable. The big question for me has been: </p> <p>“Does the innovation actually do anything for us?” I think I have tested and reviewed over 300 startups in the last couple of years, and I can honestly say that most of this innovation has been directed at entertainment or rather useless “cuteness”. Diigo as a tool, could be viewed as a much more serious innovation by comparison.</p></div></p><p><div class="content">Diigo has fairly effectively expanded its reach into the social networking venue even farther. Aside from that, the inherent tools available on Diigo as a aggregationa and research platform have been expanded greatly also. So many startups have been either hyped or constructively accentuated that it is sometimes difficult to put an actual value on them, this is not the case for any of Diigo’s faithful users.</div></p><p><div class="content">The “community” buzz word has really invaded our Web consciousness these days, but the actual effectiveness and potential productivity of these communities is what should really be stressed. Diigo’s community, in using all the function of Diigo’s innovation and refinements, has the ability to help build relationships based around perhaps our greatest asset – knowledge. Diigo’s latest release of Version 3 illustrates the proper metamorphosis of a truly valuable community, or content and data reflected on a growing and engaged set of people. The innovators developed a way to collect and store knowledge efficiently, and then refined the platform to foster collaboration in learning.</div></p><p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/diigo' rel='tag'>diigo</a> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/review' rel='tag'>review</a> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/v3' rel='tag'>v3</a> </p><p><strong>Posted by:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo'>maggie_diigo</a></p> Fri, 04 Apr 2008 08:11:34 -0000 http://bub.blicio.us/?p=804 <p></p><p><strong>Highlights and Sticky Notes:</strong><p><div class="content"><p><a href="http://www.diigo.com">Diigo</a> has released v 3.0 of its browser plugin and has set a new standard in social bookmarking in the process. It not only allows you to bookmark and save notes in an easy to retrieve place, it adds a new dimension to the Web itself by revealing, at the page level, the community of people who have also interacted with the content. It also feeds into a bigger community of content that builds a social network around relevant information.</p> <p>It combines research and community.</p></div></p><p><div class="content"><p>Starting simple:</p> <p>You can bookmark and annotate relevant things that you need to reference later. Using the Webslides function, you also can share these links as a slideshow, which actually appear as “live” web pages. The slideshow is embeddable on Web pages and in blogs.</p> <p>Revealing a new layer of the web:</p> <p>The new sidebar gives you quick access to your bookmarks as well your annotations on each Web page. It also shows you other diigo users who have annotated that page to give you additional perspective. The sidebar is searchable to find your notes quicker and easier.</p> <p>Connect and Engage:</p> <p>According to the company, you are what you annotate. Bookmarks, tags, and annotations are one of the best representations of your interests and expertise. At Diigo, you maintain a bookmarks page which is your hub to relevant content. You can also connect to like-minded people and also browse their activities as they relate to you.</p></div></p><p><div class="content"> <object height='355' width='425' classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" > <param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/0RvAkTuL02A&hl=en"><param name="height" value="355"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><param name="width" value="425"> <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/0RvAkTuL02A&hl=en" height="355" wmode="transparent" width="425"></embed> </object></div></p><p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/diigo' rel='tag'>diigo</a> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/review' rel='tag'>review</a> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/v3' rel='tag'>v3</a> </p><p><strong>Posted by:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo'>maggie_diigo</a></p> Fri, 04 Apr 2008 08:10:06 -0000 http://elroyjetson.org/2008/03/21/diigo-what-delicious-could-have-been <p></p><p><strong>Highlights and Sticky Notes:</strong><p><div class="content">It is a very impressive application.&nbsp; To call Diigo a social bookmarking site would be to limit it to a box that it has grown beyond.</div></p><p><div class="content">if you aren’t using Diigo you might as well be living in a web 1.0 world.</div></p><p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/diigo' rel='tag'>diigo</a> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/review' rel='tag'>review</a> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/v3' rel='tag'>v3</a> </p><p><strong>Posted by:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo'>maggie_diigo</a></p> Fri, 04 Apr 2008 08:07:04 -0000 http://blogstring.com/2008/03/20/diigo-raises-the-bar-in-social-bookmarking-in-new-release-wow <p></p><p><strong>Highlights and Sticky Notes:</strong><p><div class="content">I have to say I’m blown away. "Blown away by a research tool/social annotation service?" I pretend you ask. Yes. It’s bad ass.</div></p><p><div class="content">One of my favorite things about diigo’s release today is this: When I’m playing around with any new service, I find myself asking "I wonder if I can do this…?" Usually I’m denied. In every case with diigo, I’m pleasantly surprised. For example, after saving a bunch of bookmarks, the blogger in me said "hey, wouldn’t it be cool if I could get a snippet of code from diigo to display my bookmarks on my blog?". Bam. Done.</div></p><p><div class="content"><p><strong>2. Sidebar-</strong> <br /> The diigo sidebar (accessible by clicking from the toolbar) lets you access all of your bookmarks wherever you are. No need to sign in at the diigo site to get your stuff. It’s right here in the browser.</p> <p><strong>3. Group Voting and Tagging-</strong> Though I do not use diigo as a collaborative annotation and research tool, this release of diigo has new team research capabilities such as the ability for a team to vote on an item (digg style) and a Tag Dictionary, allowing all team members to agree on common tags for items.</p> <p><strong>4. Social Browsing-</strong> While browsing the web, use the toolbar to see what people have said about the site you’re on. Through the same sidebar, you’re also able to see what other readers have bookmarked and/or commented on a page (by clicking the This URL link). In addition to showing which diigo users have bookmarked the page, you can see a list of users that have bookmarked any page on the site, and you can read their comments from the sidebar. </p> <p><strong>5. Content Discovery-</strong> Diigo is starting to focus more on becoming a source of content by improving their recommendation and discovery functionality. Users can discover content through their friends and by diigo’s matching feature, which looks for content similar to your own bookmarking activity. </p> <p><strong>6. Share Outside of diigo</strong>- Like the "Twitter This" box above, you can share your bookmarks with people outside of diigo. Currently the options are sending by email, adding to facebook, and sharing on twitter.</p></div></p><p><div class="content">Like I said way back in the beginning of this post, you’ve gotta try this thing out to understand it. It’s not a solution to a problem; it’s a group of many solutions to many problems. If you ever need to share stuff you’ve found online, or if you need to keep all your clippings in one place, this is for you. Even if you ignore the other 99 new features, you’re going to like diigo.</div></p><p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/diigo' rel='tag'>diigo</a> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/review' rel='tag'>review</a> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/v3' rel='tag'>v3</a> </p><p><strong>Posted by:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo'>maggie_diigo</a></p> Fri, 04 Apr 2008 08:05:15 -0000 http://www.emilychang.com/go/ehub/app/diigo-v3-a-win-with-non-intrusive-social-networking <p></p><p><strong>Highlights and Sticky Notes:</strong><p><div class="content">While it seems like everyone is getting into social networking these days, most are building communities around who knows <i>who</i>.

There’s a tab for your recent bookmarks, a tab that shows the status of your Diigo friends, and a tab that shows you who else has bookmarked the page or the site, including any annotations that have been left on the page by other Diigo users.

Improvements to Diigo Groups has turned this aspect of the Diigo community into a powerful way to distribute and refine knowledge among a team. And Diigo’s “varying degrees of non-intrusiveness” approach to social networking has infused a level of maturity into the social networking world that has been sorely lacking up to this point. There’s a lot of hype around Diigo right now, and the bottom line is that it’s well-deserved.</div></p><p><div class="content">Now, with the newly released Diigo V3, Diigo comes bounding into the social networking world.

Diigo, leveraging its success as a knowledge sharing tool, is building communities around who knows <i>what</i>.</div></p><p><div class="content">Since that time, there has been a continuous stream of enhancements, many in response to their very active user forum. The new V3 really opens the flood gates with over a hundred new features, most revolving around a much more social Diigo. So much has Diigo focused on improving the social lives of Diigo users everywhere, that they’re even given a name to the concept: Social Information Networking.</div></p><p><div class="content">Social Information Networking has to do with creating your social network around knowledge. It’s the ability to create a social network “with varying degrees of non-intrusiveness” around varying types and collections of knowledge. For those of us suffering from <a href="http://gigaom.com/2007/07/29/facebook-fatigue/" title="Facebook-fatigue">Facebook-fatigue</a>, this is a refreshing diversion from the broader social networking scene. In terms of features, this translates into options. Lots of options.</div></p><p><div class="content">I really latched on to Diigo’s theme of “varying degrees of non-intrusiveness”. As a knowledge worker, I want to be able to focus on the task at hand, yet I need to be able to quickly plumb the expertise of others.

I’m finding myself looking at who else has bookmarked this page, scrolling through other people’s bookmarks, people who I’ve noticed share similar interests. Then I’ll look through their tags, because maybe they’ve collected some body of knowledge about some other thing. And then it dawns on me-- OMG! I’m being social!</div></p><p><div class="content">It comes back to that “varying degrees of non-intrusiveness” thinking again. I’ve got lots of options when it comes to interacting with another Diigo user. I can page through their bookmarks or check out a specific tag they’ve used. I can choose to follow them so I’ll always know if they’ve found a new lifehacks website or climate change blog. Or I can invite them to be one of my Diigo friends.</div></p><p><div class="content">Diigo also has some really cool ways of creating communities around knowledge items. I can join a community around a specific tag, such as ”<a href="http://www.diigo.com/community/tag?tag=lifehacks" title="lifehacks">lifehacks</a>” or a community that has developed around a specific web site, like <a href="http://www.diigo.com/community/site/http://www.emilychang.com/go/ehub" title="eHub">eHub</a>. Or I can create a community (which Diigo calls a group) around a topic of my choosing. Groups are very powerful knowledge devices. These are semi-autonomous knowledge sharing communities that let your explore the web together through annotations and bookmarks, and then give you the ability to rate bookmarks, pushing the most relevant items to the top. This is a great model for quickly disseminating and distilling knowledge among a team of researchers.</div></p><p><div class="content">In summary, Diigo’s new sidebar is well designed. It allows me to focus on my work while, at the same time, giving me access to Diigo’s knowledge community. Improvements to Diigo Groups has turned this aspect of the Diigo community into a powerful way to distribute and refine knowledge among a team. And Diigo’s “varying degrees of non-intrusiveness” approach to social networking has infused a level of maturity into the social networking world that has been sorely lacking up to this point.

The multitude of features could easily kludge up a site but the Diigo team has made quick work of them. It’s design and UI are top-notch - so much so that I recommended Diigo to another company as an excellent example of creating elegance out of chaos.</div></p><p><div class="content">What I find most interesting about Diigo is precisely what turns some off: the scope.

The myriad services dedicated to this purpose all have their upsides, but in general only end up adding to the noise.

It basically makes a live PowerPoint-like annotated presentation using media from across the Web. Back in September I thought the tool was perfect for Web agencies, and I stand by this claim today. One of the new features of Diigo 3.0 is collaborative research. Team members can bring together links they find across the Web for comments and annotation. There is tagging and sticky notes that the team can participate in to make the presentation stronger. The other major update is the addition of more social components. If you install the Diigo toolbar, as you browse the Web, you can see what others think of the page including comments, who bookmarked the page and what other similar sites and pages they have bookmarke</div></p><p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/diigo' rel='tag'>diigo</a> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/review' rel='tag'>review</a> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/v3' rel='tag'>v3</a> </p><p><strong>Posted by:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo'>maggie_diigo</a></p> Fri, 04 Apr 2008 07:13:19 -0000 http://www.successful-blog.com/1/great-find-diingo <p></p><p><strong>Highlights and Sticky Notes:</strong><p><div class="content">Diigo has continually adapted and developed into what is effectively the Web’s best research tool. Now, with their launch of Version 3, Diigo has refined a social annotation and collaboration service into an even more effective “personal and group oriented tool”.</div></p><p><div class="content"><h2> The Vision</h2> <p>The Diigo platform was developed around a utility (the Diigo browser add on) that enables people to actually highlight and perform functions on sections of or whole Web pages. The vision was and is to help people grab relevant content and effectively aggregate, save and/or store this data. Diigo has transformed the bookmark into a more usable and effective data collection tool and has also enabled a very unique and positive community aspect with V3. Diigo basically enables people to study and research as one would in a library – by taking pertinent pieces of the knowledge puzzle and putting them where they are accessible, functional and more easily utilized.</p></div></p><p><div class="content">Calling this deep and diverse research and annotation tool a bookmarking service is really ridiculous - akin to comparing putting a cardboard placeholder in a book with actually understanding what is in the book. Being able to grab, store, manipulate and organize data and knowledge and the abilty to work on it in collaboration has nothing to do with bookmarking</div></p><p><div class="content"><p><strong><a href="http://www.diigo.com/">Diigo’s</a> Personal, Collaborative Research Platform </strong>– This is the premise on which Diigo was built, a platform for gathering, using and sharing information. Not just any information, but highly filtered and relevant information beyond the weightiness of full Web pages and extraneous data. Diigo allows users to add, gather or extract from pages of information and then share or work with others to further refine knowledge. Users can define their content on a group, community and ultimatly on a personal level via this even more enhanced UI. </p> <p><strong>Social Content Site</strong> - The aggregate gathered annotated data on Diigo provides a collective repository quite unlike any other. Data becomes knowledge refined at Diigo because of the human filtering aspect inherent in the way people can “slice” or refine their annotations and bookmarks. Essentially everything gathered on to the Diigo platform becomes either a personal or communicative volume in the Diigo library. In this was Diigo content is perhaps more social than on any other site. Searchability and the host of Diigo user tools make endless the possibilities in utilizing this storehouse of information.</p></div></p><p><div class="content">the best of all these tools is the new sidebar that makes it simple to see your annotations, links, notes and even the suggested or similar data of other users. The sidebar interface is much more visible and interactive than even Diigo’s previous interface and light years ahead of the closest competitor. Combined with the Diigo toolbar makes Diigo an even more powerful collaborative tool. Users now have the ability to search and select suggested data from other users as well as suggesting relevant knowledge to their friends. Suggestion, when presented by like minded users, can effectively act as a knowledge filter which narrows search to a fine point. This is what Diigo can be best at, presenting relevant knowledge in a much more filtered and refined way.</div></p><p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/diigo' rel='tag'>diigo</a> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/review' rel='tag'>review</a> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/v3' rel='tag'>v3</a> </p><p><strong>Posted by:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo'>maggie_diigo</a></p> Fri, 04 Apr 2008 07:07:41 -0000 http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/03/20/diigo-revamps-social-bookmarking-service-with-v30 <p></p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/diigo' rel='tag'>diigo</a> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/review' rel='tag'>review</a> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/v3' rel='tag'>v3</a> </p><p><strong>Posted by:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo'>maggie_diigo</a></p> Fri, 04 Apr 2008 07:00:48 -0000 http://donteattheshrimp.com/2008/03/20/diigos-got-a-brand-new-bag <p></p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/diigo' rel='tag'>diigo</a> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/review' rel='tag'>review</a> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/v3' rel='tag'>v3</a> </p><p><strong>Posted by:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo'>maggie_diigo</a></p> Fri, 04 Apr 2008 07:00:07 -0000 http://www.downloadsquad.com/2008/03/20/diigo-3-0-social-bookmarking-tool-adds-recommendations <p></p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/diigo' rel='tag'>diigo</a> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/review' rel='tag'>review</a> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/v3' rel='tag'>v3</a> </p><p><strong>Posted by:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo'>maggie_diigo</a></p> Fri, 04 Apr 2008 06:59:54 -0000 http://wordsofabrokenmirror.com/2008/03/20/research-bookmarking-and-annotations-go-social-on-diigo <p></p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/diigo' rel='tag'>diigo</a> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/review' rel='tag'>review</a> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/v3' rel='tag'>v3</a> </p><p><strong>Posted by:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo'>maggie_diigo</a></p> Fri, 04 Apr 2008 06:59:41 -0000 http://ijump.co.nz/diigo-social-bookmarking-20-style-my-new-best-friend <p></p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/diigo' rel='tag'>diigo</a> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/review' rel='tag'>review</a> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/v3' rel='tag'>v3</a> </p><p><strong>Posted by:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo'>maggie_diigo</a></p> Fri, 04 Apr 2008 06:59:28 -0000 http://www.stress-free.co.nz/diigo_30_is_useful_for_collaborative_web_research <p></p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/diigo' rel='tag'>diigo</a> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/review' rel='tag'>review</a> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/v3' rel='tag'>v3</a> </p><p><strong>Posted by:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo'>maggie_diigo</a></p> Fri, 04 Apr 2008 06:59:17 -0000 http://www.mapleleaftwo.com/is-diigo-the-next-phase-in-social-bookmarking-giving-a-solid-try <p></p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/diigo' rel='tag'>diigo</a> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/review' rel='tag'>review</a> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo/v3' rel='tag'>v3</a> </p><p><strong>Posted by:</strong> <a href='http://www.diigo.com/user/maggie_diigo'>maggie_diigo</a></p> Fri, 04 Apr 2008 06:59:05 -0000 http://webworkerdaily.com/2008/03/24/diigo-all-things-to-all-bookmarks <p></p><p><strong>Highlights and Sticky Notes:</strong><p><div class="content">The only real negative is that, with the number of things they’ve crammed into the site, it can be a problem to find the functionality you’re looking for, or to fully utilize everything.
