Including stylistic elements like B for bold and I for italics Suck elements defined how content would be formatted. In other words, form and content became inseparable in HTML Digital Text can do better. Form and content can be separated. http://www.cnn.com RSS XML View Source XML was designed to do just that. http://www.cnn.com/?eref=rss_topstories same withCNN.com and and virtually all other elements in this document.

I admit that I don’t use all these features; I still end up mostly using Diigo as my personal research tool. Having the ability to highlight and annotate text makes it much more useful as part of my personal learning environment than delicious. Personally, I think Diigo just looks a lot nicer than the barebones interface for delicious, especially in this version.

But Diigo! Diigo lets you annotate webpages, among other things. You create an account (all of these accounts are free), and then while you’re viesing a web page, you can highlight a bunch of text and, in effect, leave a permanent sticky note on that site, so whenever you view it, you can view your annotation. You can also make these annotations public to other diigo users. I have wanted a tool like this for at least five years. This changes everything.

Diigo - love it Reviewed by zog, 2006-08-18 Fantastic, incredible site. So useful, Can bookmark, can annotate, can add stickies, can collaborate, can filter tags, can open all in tabs, can post to other sites, etc, etc. Icon changes to tell you in advance whether you have already bookmark a site or whether you have any highlighted text or images, yes images too. Which bookmarkers can do these? Awesome!

Improving on the Grassroots Directory In my earlier article about using Diigo as a research directory, I described their Groups feature and how useful it is for family research.  Well, it just got better.  Diigo has added a forum capability to their Groups platform.  In addition to collecting links - with the associated sticky notes and highlights - group members can post notes and ask questions in the forum. 

Personally I found Diigo www.diigo.com to be the most delightful and one step ahead. This fun tool allows you to highlight, bookmark and forward, any content from any site on planet Web. Even better, you can actually add a sticky note with your comments for either public or private viewing. This is in addition to all the regular features of a wiki – creating groups, shared content, collaborating on files and projects etc. You do need to download the tool bar which comes in all popular browser versions. I spent a most happy half hour, sticking notes on random web sites, but am sure it can be put to more productive use. Public comments are monitored by an editing team.

this recession will be good for innovation because recessions generally are

A recession means technologists cease to be paid vast amounts to duplicate the work of others

low-cost high-impact physical events we've created (Ignite, hacker meetups, coworking spaces, foo/bar camps) will thrive

WebSlides - Transforms Bookmarks Once Again  Annotated New feature from Diigo (currently in private beta testing): create a slideshow of links with highlighting and sticky notes. You can record audio or add music to accompany it. I could see this having potential for basic tutorials or demos; you could do this instead of using screencast or recording software.

DIIIIIIIIGO!!! With the power of Diigo I can surf the web pages and not only bookmark pages I find interesting and relevant but I can also highlight and add sticky notes of comments that I and other members of the Diigo Community can easily access and discuss. This adds more steroids to the standard web bookmarking technique. Instead of having a huge list of bookmarks which i cannot remember what they are anymore I can ad tags, make sub-categories and share with other members with my same interest. Plus, it has a beautiful name… DIIIIIIIIIIIGOOOO! If only a computer can echo so all my imaginary friends online can hear it.

With its version 3 relaunch, Diigo seems to have an answer to that question: they’ve packed with the features including highlighting, social networking, etc.. to become the most [...]

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.

I switched to Diigo because it gave me sophisticated bookmarking, annotation features, but ALSO access to group/conversation features that didn't require me to get a Ning or YahooGroup or that kind of group. I have enough of those. Furthermore, I'm able to post directly from my Diigo bookmarking/ highlighting/ annotating to two of my blogs

Diigo is better than all the others. I dont know how to explain it, but it just does more. You can highlight, comment, share, twitter, etc. It has a great tool bar, too. Mostly, I hate add on tool bars, but this one is actually easy to use.

Diigo: Use this tool to organize research material just like you would in a book or journal. Diigo lets you add highlights and sticky notes to any website.

One aspect that characterises the new web is the increasing capacity to annotate or edit socially written texts - through wikis or collaborative projects, such as those referenced in Mark Marina’s ‘Marginalia in the library of babel‘ project. Diigo software adds a further dimension to social bookmarking: If social bookmarking allows us to share our library catalogs, social annotation sites allow us to share our libraries complete with their underlinings, highlights, and marginalia.

Web2 has been with us for some time increasing possibilities for social transparency transforming notions of privacy and ownership into a new form of social space and cultural intimacy. This is beautifully illustrated by the short video Web 2.0 … The Machine is Us/ing Us by Michael Wesch

Diigo has gone forward to give a annotations faility along with the bookmarking. Here, you can select the text from any webpage ..highlight it..boom..it is saved on the server for later viewing. This can be used as very good reaserch tool. It is like you are reading a book, you uinderline the important things in an article for later fast reference. I certainly find it very useful. You can give a shot.
