A frequent, chronological publication of personal thoughts and Web links.
People maintained blogs long before the term was coined, but the trend gained momentum with the introduction of automated published systems, most notably Blogger at blogger.com.
By 8 p.m., three hours after the F.B.I. released the suspects’ photos, angry messages began to appear on the Tripathi’s Facebook page, and at 8:15 Ravi received a phone call from a reporter at ABC News in New York, who asked if Sunil had been spotted in Boston and if Ravi had seen the F.B.I. photos of Suspect No. 2. Ravi, unclear at what she was getting at, told her there had been no word from Sunil.
At 10:56 p.m., Stone tweeted: “I’m sure by now the @fbipressoffice is looking into this dude” and included a link to the Facebook page. Seven minutes later, she tweeted: “Seconds after I sent that tweet the page is gone off of Facebook. If you can cache it . . .” Several journalists began tweeting out guarded thoughts about Sunil’s involvement.
At 2:43 a.m., a Twitter user named Greg Hughes (@ghughesca), who was previously tweeting things like, “In 2013, all you need [is] a connection to the Boston police scanner and a Twitter feed to know what’s up. We don’t even need TV anymore,”
Seven minutes later, Kevin Galliford, a journalist for a TV station in Hartford, relayed the same information to his own followers; Galliford’s tweet was retweeted more than 1,000 times in a matter of minutes.
Andrew Kaczynski, a journalist at BuzzFeed, who sent out the police-scanner misinformation to his 81,000 followers
@YourAnonNews, a Twitter news feed connected to the hacker collective Anonymous, tweeted out Tripathi’s name to the hundreds of thousands of people
Roughly 300 Twitter users retweeted Malinowski’s second post on the subject, including the pop-culture blogger Perez Hilton, who sent Sunil Tripathi’s name out to more than six million followers.
Reddit enjoyed record-breaking traffic numbers during the Boston coverage, and the company has always considered itself “content agnostic,” meaning that as long as what’s being posted is legal, Reddit will not intervene and take it down.
@YourAnonNews is very likely to surpass the Twitter following of most major American newspapers. The account is followed by hundreds of journalists, myself included. For those who dream of a post-Snowden utopia where no government and corporate secrets are protected, @YourAnonNews is one of the only trustworthy news sources out there.

Tags help you find and organize your bookmarks by letting
you select all of your bookmarks with a certain tag or combination of tags.
Quickly add relevant tags to a bookmark by clicking on any of the recommended
tags that appear under the description field on the “Save Bookmark” pop-up.
When you are satisfied with the information in the “Save
Bookmark” pop-up, click the “Save Bookmark” button.
Now a link to the page is stored in your Diigo library, and
the information you entered is stored with it.
Highlight
Highlighting lets you denote important information on a
page, just like highlighting in a book, but with Diigo, the highlighted text
will be conveniently saved to your library as well.
There are some important things for me to denote on my
recipe. My wife doesn’t like pineapple, my grandfather can’t have eggs or
chocolate, and I don’t like coconut very much, so I highlight those items on
the recipe to let me know I need to deal with them.
Highlight by clicking “Highlight” on the Diigolet. Then
select the text you want to highlight. The text will be visually highlighted
and the text is now stored in your library. It’s that easy. Click the button again to exit highlighter mode.
You can also change the color of a highlight by clicking the
downward-pointing arrow next to “Highlight” and choosing a color. Colors are
useful for differentiating different types of highlights. I will use a
different color for each of the different people I need to consider.
To add a sticky note to a highlight, simply move your mouse
cursor over a highlight. When the little pop-up tab with the pencil on it
appears, move the cursor to it and a menu will appear. Choose “Add Sticky
Notes”. Now you can type and post a sticky note just like before, but this time
it will be tied to the highlighted text.
Use the “Save” option to bookmark a page. Bookmarking saves a link to the page in your online Diigo library, allowing you to easily access it later.
Highlighting can also be accomplished from the context pop-up. After the Chrome extension is installed, whenever you select text on a webpage, the context pop-up will appear, allowing you to accomplish text-related annotation.
Highlight Pop-up Menu – After you highlight some text, position your mouse cursor over it and the highlight pop-up menu will appear.
The highlight pop-up menu allows you to add notes to, share, or delete the highlight.
Sticky Note
Click the middle icon on the annotation toolbar to add a sticky note to the page. With a sticky note, you can write your thoughts anywhere on a web page.
