Diigo Evangelists

Diigo is a great, no, a fantastic tool(!) Not only for bookmarking but also for research, blogging and a must for any social bookmark mania. It's a kind if mix between del.icio.us (social bookmarks), Wizlite (web highlight and notes), Onlywire (multi post to social bookmarks), with Blogging support.

All Clipmarks passages are linked to their online sources, which is an improvement from simply copying and pasting text into an e-mail or blog.

There are a lot of social bookmarking sites on the Web, and Clipmark's granular clipping feature is not different enough to make the site fundamentally more useful or relevant than others. It is, however, just as good a time-waster as Digg, Reddit, or StumbleUpon.

There is one thing about Clipmarks that really bugs me, though: You can easily clip and save content to Clipmarks and then e-mail or blog it, as I said above. But once you leave the page you've highlighted clippings on, they vanish. To me, that's like having a highlighter with disappearing ink, which is not really what one expects: You highlight some text, turn the page, turn it back, and presto! your highlights are gone. I'd like the option to make Clipmark highlights persistent. Annotation services such as Stickis and Trailfire do this, but they're designed for a different purpose.

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.
