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.
