6 Ways to Turn Diigo Into a Traffic Booster

Unless you are able to create tons exquisite content on quite a few hot tags of Diigo, just bookmarking your own articles won’t get you very far. So what other ways are there to use Diigo as a traffic generator?

Hands-on Diigo: bookmarking evolved By Rafe Needleman – August 1, 2006,

There's yet another new bookmarking utility live now: Diigo. This one is different. In addition to letting you bookmark pages and share those bookmarks with others, it also lets you highlight parts of pages (text or images), and store those highlights not only in your Diigo account, but also on the Web pages themselves

The annotation capability sets Diigo apart from Del.icio.us and makes it a more granular data-gathering tool, like ClipMarks

Diigo has refined a social annotation and collaboration service into an even more effective “personal and group oriented tool”.

a platform for gather, using and sharing information. Not just any information, but highly filtered and relevant information beyond the weightiness of full Web pages and extraneous data.

Group tagging, allows entire groups to suggest the best of the best and in this fashion good content (voted on by a collective) tends to rise to the top. The results of group activity are utilized in this way and add to group as well as community content value.

Personal productivity has a smaller user base than perhaps the business or Social/Community systems, but the requirements are pretty well defined. The consumers in this segment are well versed in the services and utilities available on the internet, and hence are the most difficult to satisfy. They usually are not from larger organizations and their requirement is mostly for personal reasons or for organizing their day to day activities. When you scale up such a requirement it can also be applied for Business users. The applications usually cater to managing information, publishing and managing media property and other personal requirements.

Listed below are the Top 5 Personal Productivity applications on the Web as per the views registered here at NEO Binaries.

Diigo Diigo is what surfing should have always been like. Diigo is a combination of many things together, social bookmarking, storing clippings, annotations, tagging, search, sticky notes and sharing of this information with others. It’s a great to store private web snippets.

“Diigo (dee'go) is about "Social Annotation". By combining social bookmarking, clippings, in situ annotation, tagging, full-text search, easy sharing and interactions, Diigo offers a powerful personal tool and a rich social platform for knowledge users, and in the process, turns the entire web into a writable, participatory and interactive media.

Why it might be a killer: It combines features from a bunch of different sites into one thing, and all of these features work really well together. The ease with which you can add your content to blogs is really useful, and if students get word of this, it will make their lives writing papers and studying for their different subjects so much easier. When Diigo is criticized on blogs, there is a dedicated base of users that attack the bad review with proof of the site’s worth, which makes it hard to argue with.

Another somewhat similar service is Diigo, which also has plug-ins for the major browsers that allow you to highlight content in a page (in Diigo's case it becomes yellow) and tag it with keywords. You can also add what amounts to a sticky note with comments, and then save it to Diigo's servers, where it is shared with other users. You can then go back to your account and see not just your own comments or highlighted sections from a site, but also the highlights and comments from any other Diigo user who also saved the page.

But what if saving a link isn't enough? Sometimes when you're researching a particular subject, you might want to keep more than just a link and a paragraph of text from a particular page.

eyalnow March 13, 2007 The whole point about Diigo is that the highlights and annotations stay on the page itself! I see it Diigo as a unique information-management tool, in the way that the information is still linked to its source - you can read it in its original context. Since installing Diigo a few days ago, I save highlights from nearly every *page* that I visit - be it long essays or insightful sentences. Another unique and powerful feature is the ability to search for words in the highlights and annotations that you’ve saved, so you can find something even if you didn’t initially tagged it. I humbly suggest you do a re-evaluation of it.

Here is another one, Diigio (pronounced as “dee’go”.) “Add Sticky Notes and Highlights to any specific texts of a web pages,” says Maggie Tsai, one of the co-founders of this tiny start-up. You can keep these notes private or make them public.

Om, Thanks for mentioning Diigo here. If we can help, we really do not like to get too lumped up with other bookmarking services like delicious though I think the thing that differentiates Diigo’s social annotation from social bookmarking services is that highlights, comments and interactions happen right on the page, in situ. Personally, I think this makes Diigo not only a more useful personal tool, but also a more powerful social tool that enable more fruitful interactions and connections among information consumers. See Flash demo (http://www.diigo.com/help/tutorial.htm) and Why Diigo?http://www.diigo.com/help/why_diigo.jsp Diigo includes bookmarking features as a necessary component, since without it, it would be difficult to track things. Plus, Diigo allows advanced search of full-text pages, tags, notes, highlights, and titles. Wade Ren, CEO Diigo (www.diigo.com) Wade Ren on December 27th, 2005
