Two notes:
* Emily, thanks very much for taking your time to make this great video!
Diigo users are really awesome. We really appreciate our community's reciprocal responses to help us spread the words. We are excited that Diigo community is growing and attracting and appreciated by more and more knowledge users. With more engagement from you all, you're helping us to make Diigo better and better. The entire Diigo team is grateful for your kind support & motivated to deliver a lot more excellences and innovations to the world of internet users!
* As you can see, I've embedded the video in this post. All of our group forum (like this one) and DMS (Diigo messaging system) support html. So you can easily embed video, pics, etc... to share with others. In DMS particularly, there is also a rich-text formatting option as well.
I will give a second shout out for this video. It is very nicely produced, and is really a nice basic intro to the service.
i want send this video (link) to friends to entice them to use Diigo. It is a really really good introduction.
what is a link i can use that goes to a full screen version of the video?
(BTW, yesterday i really wished i had a t-shirt with the diigo logo on one side the firefox logo on the other! it would have been so fun, and a great way to start conversations...)

Just a little long...
Maybe suitable for HELP,but not for Introduction.
Proposed that divid it into paragraphs,and Focused on less than 3 keypoint.
Fighting! ^^
For Diigo intro, our version of V3 video is tightly compacted - touches upon a lot of key features and main value propositions - all in less than 4 minutes. On the other hand, Emily's video has a very nice "why social bookmarking" component - which is great intro for "beginners". she has also explained quite a bit of the "Friends" / Sending / Profile & privacy features. Both are great companions for a better understanding of what Diigo is all about.
T-shirt - good idea. How about if we start a T-shirt design contest? Any suggestions on how to run / widely spread the words about it?
I actually feel the same way, Hexy, but I was doing this for a school assignment and needed to cover a lot of ground for a particular audience. If I had more time and all the flash capabilities in the world, there would at very least be a table of contents that would look something like this:
1. Why "social bookmarking" is useful
2. How to sign up for diigo
3. How to use diigo for basic bookmarking
4. How to use diigo to share bookmarks (the social part)
5. Review: who can use it?
If I were to separate it out into "introduction" "installation" and "demonstration", I wouldn't need to do the review pieces quite the same way, but I felt that was necessary at this length because not everyone "gets it" on the first pass. :)
I'll probably be building on this at some point and I may experiment with using brightcove and see if I can get a table of contents or other features using that as my "platform" instead of YouTube. But YouTube is pretty ubiquitous for now and easy to embed, so I used it first. Anyone on facebook can see a nicer resolution version in the diigo group... they have a better video player on facebook - it isn't larger, but it is sharper.
Emily,
Those 5 points are excellent. So glad that you have covered them. Lots of rave reviews for those who have seen it! Congrats!
Would be very cool to add the table of content! I will chat with you more..
Facebook - do you have a link?
There's a link to my facebook on my profile here, but here's a link to the facebook group:
Diigo Users, Spread the Word!
You'll probably need to log in to view the video on facebook, at any rate here's a link
