I have found that it is pushed my research into websites into a broader realm. I like how easy it is to save my favorites. I am able to place highlights on the site as well as sticky notes. I can form groups to share sites and discuss the common goal of the group.

I would like to use it as a place to discuss a book that we will be reading. I think it will be a good place for researching the topic and discussing the topic.

Diigo - Supercharged Social Networwking Tool

Darwin discovered natural selection, which went on to be made popular by Herbert Spencer as “the survival of the fittest.” Yesterday, I saw it being applied to Web 2.0. I have been a del.icio.us fan for some time now. del.icio.us is synonymous with social bookmarking, in fact, for all practical purposes, they invented it. In fact, I switched back from Firefox 3beta because there was no del.icio.us support.

Yet, del.icio.us never came out of Version 1 of this Web 2.0 phenomenon.

Along comes diigo. del.icio.us on steroids!

Changes the way you will use and share (and I really mean share) bookmarks. What they have done to social bookmarking is not rocket science, but they have done it. What they have done was never difficult, but being the one who does it first makes a lot of difference. I have happily switched from del.icio.us to diigo.com. And I am thrilled using it the last 18 hours.

Highly recommended!!!

Twelve Horses is a full-service relationship marketing and messaging company specializing in designing interactive communication solutions.

It’s great knowing that many workgroups and companies are discovering and finding Diigo to be quite useful for both personal productivity and effective collaborative research… reasons that inspire us to create Diigo in the very first place. Besides “What / Why Diigo”, we also chatted about “Why Reno / Tahoe”

Features of Diigo

As a personal research tool, you can use Diigo to,

• Bookmark, highlight texts and add sticky notes to any websites that you want. All changes are persistent - that means you can see the same highlighted texts when you are browsing through the same page again.

• Group a web page with tags and lists.


• Access all your research anywhere because all your bookmarks are stored online.


• Search for a bookmark by a full text search, sticky notes, tags and more.


• Share your research with others in multiple ways - send to blog, linkrolls, tagrolls, by email, post to other social bookmarking sites such as Twitter, Facebook, Delicious, etc.


• Automatically post findings to your blog with all the comments, highlights, etc.


• Easily find the most popular content on Diigo to stay up to date with the hottest news.


• Get recommended content based on your activities in Diigo.


• Get related content while browsing the Internet - I recently stumbled a website with loads of useful comments from Diigo’s users.


• Import bookmarks from other social bookmarking sites to Diigo.


• The “Save Elsewhere ” feature allows you to simultaneously bookmark sites to Del.ico.us, Simpy or Ma.gnolia.

As a collaborative research platform, you can use Diigo to,

• Join or create a private or public group to share and collaborate with people of the same interests.


• Add private sticky notes that are visible to only members of the same group. This creates a platform for instant discussion (or debate!)

• Group tag - to enforce tagging consistency within a group, the group admin can set a list of recommended tags to be used by other team members.


• Get recommended news from your Diigo’s friends - from Diigo’s sidebar, you can also see who is currently reading the same page too!
