Diigo ReviewDiigo Review• CNET gave Diigo 3 ½ stars which is considered very

good.• “Diigo is an online bookmarking tool with a twist.

Sometimes, merely saving a bunch of tagged Web sites to a list of favorites is not enough. Ever wanted to highlight one cool corner of a Web page? Do you wish you could scribble on various Web sites to collect recipes, plan a vacation, or write a big research paper, then share your notes? Diigo can help you do that.“ (CNET Review, 2010)

“The Web is teeming with social-networking sites that emphasize the "social," but what if you're a business-minded individual more interested in the networking end? Where do you go? The answer: LinkedIn.” (PC Magazine, 2007)

LinkedIn ReviewLinkedIn Review• AppAppeal gave LinkedIn 5 stars, its

highest rating.• “If you're looking for professional

contacts and don't want to dive into the deep end by using a business directory or don't feel like browsing thousands of ads, Linkedin can help you find a suitable professional within your social and business sphere.” (AppAppeal, 2009)
