The Diigo team is dedicated to provide
innovative and useful web services for our users. The name "Diigo"
is an abbreviation for "Digest
of Internet
Information,
Groups and
Other stuff."
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.
The social annotation service introduced by Diigo allows users to add
highlights and sticky notes,
in situ,
on any web page they read. Imagine a giant transparency overlaying on top of
all the web pages. Users can write on the transparency as they wish, as
private notes or public comments. And they can read public comments on the
transparency left by other readers of the same page, and hear their "two
cents" and interact with them.
THE NATIONAL YEARBOOK PROJECT
RootsWeb is host to the National Yearbook Project:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~usyrbook/.
National coordinator Judy White has organized the project by location.
Most submissions are from America, but foreign contributions are
welcome; Judy is especially trying to build items from Canada and the
British Isles.
Contributions can be individual photographs, indexes, and
transcriptions. A single page or an entire book can be submitted, as
well as links to external sites. Graduation and commencement programs
are also welcome items.
One of the highlights of the project is the classified ads. There are
people looking for yearbooks and others selling. Maybe you'll get
lucky and find a match.
U.S. SCHOOL YEARBOOK DATABASE
Ancestry.com has digitized yearbooks into the U.S. School Yearbook
database. If you don't have a subscription, try your local library for
access. To date, there are more than 1 million names indexed. The
collection includes books from middle school, junior high, and high
school.
Ancestry.com encourages submissions, so if you are inclined, send a CD
with images scanned at no less than 300 dpi. It should include the
front and back covers, as well as all interior images. If you are
unable to send a CD, contact them for other arrangements.
