[Scribkin] Tell Me About Diigo

It’s an understatement to say that Diigo has a lot of features.  In fact, it’s so feature-packed that it’s hard to summarize accurately. But, I think using an iceberg as an analogy is apt here: It all starts with bookmarking and annotation.  But what Diigo wraps around that core functionality is its true strength.

Five Ways to Mark Up the Web

  • Diigo


    A must have for researchersdiigologo100.png

    Diigo is a research tool that lets you share bookmarks and annotations on web pages using a browser plugin or bookmarklet. Notes are anchored to highlighted text and bookmarks save a cached copy of the site. Diigo will also let you save to multiple other bookmarking services (all the big ones) and email your annotated pages to friends who don’t have the plugin. We covered Diigo earlier.


    Diigo has some advanced search functionality built in as well. With Diigo, you can search for the highlighted words on the web with any of four search engines, social bookmarking systems, on blogs, within the current site, amongst inbound links, and seven different content verticals (TV, stock sites, etc.). Diigo also lets you post links to your blog through posts, or a “linkroll” widget listing your most recent annotations.

neunetz.com » diigo ist das zur Zeit mit Abstand beste Online-Research- und Bookmarking-Tool

  • diigo ist ein Onlinebookmarkingtool with a twist, wie auf Techcrunch immer alles so schön angesagt wird. “Bäh, wer brauch denn _noch ein_ Onlinebookmarkingtool”, höre ich sie hinter ihren Tastaturen aufstöhnen. Aber halte inne, oh ungeduldiger Blogleser, sonst verpasst Du womöglich das Entscheidende: Denn diigo ist der mit Abstand beste Service um Online Texte/Seiten nicht nur zu archivieren sondern auch Passagen hervorzuheben und eigene Notizen (für später oder für Andere) zu vermerken und mehr.

Diigo Launches, Nobody Cares

  • Specifically, just to give your readers an idea of how I use diigo: I’ve used it to research archival material for the city I live in — archival visual material of the built environment, which I then tagged according to time period (1860s through to 1970s). Converting these diigo bookmarks from “private” (my default) to “public,” I was then able to put this research on my wiki, an online/offline community project. In addition, I have a score of “private” category pages, online material about urbanism, urbanplanning, Jane Jacobs, Vancouver (I live in Victoria, but Vancouver figures, too), and other texts, which I could not only bookmark and tag, but which I could highlight & annotate. When it comes time to write an article, I pull out the appropriate articles and click on “expand” to see all my comments, highlights, annotations. I can then easily extract all the relevant material as notes for my article. I can’t imagine having to do all this via copy-and-paste into a text editor, for example. With diigo, boom, it’s all done with a click. Perfect.
