Bookmarking PLUS
Diigo www.diigo.comIf you browse or read a lot on the web, we believe you will find Diigo indispensable.
Diigo is two services in one
1. A research Personal Research Tool and/or a collaborative research tool
2. A private site OR knowledge-sharing community and social content site
Diigo provides a browser add-on that can really improve your research productivity.
As you read on the web, instead of just bookmarking, you can highlight portions of web pages that are of particular interest to you.
You can also attach sticky notes to specific parts of web pages. Whenever you return to aweb page, you will see your highlights and sticky notes superimposed on the original page, just what you would expect if you highlighted or wrote on a book!
You can easily search, access, sort and share your collection from any device.
A Collaborative Research Platform You can easily share your findings, complete with your highlights and sticky notes, with friends and colleagues. A project team or a class.
A Social Content Site
With every Diigo user tagging and annotating pages online, the Diigo community has collectively created a wonderful repository of quality content, filtered and annotated by the community, on almost any subject you may be interested in. For example, if you would like to find popular resources on e-learning, searching Diigo can probably get what you want in less time than using search engines, and you may also gain insights from other users.
You can find and subscribe to the most recent or most popular bookmarks under any set of tags. Our system also provides recommended news and resources personalized to your interests.
While you are reading a web page, the Diigo sidebar shows you who else has bookmarked this page or this site, and what other similar pages and sites they have bookmarked, providing you a social browsing experience and a great way to find related content.
A Knowledge-Sharing Community
Since you are what you annotate - bookmarks, tags, annotations are a great expression of one's interests and expertise - Diigo provides new ways to connect and keep in touch with friends, and to learn both from your friends and about your friends with little extra effort.
Diigo also provides new ways to connect with others who share similar interests. You can find "people like me" - those who are closest to you in interests, or search people by tags or sites to find others who share certain specific interests with you. Once you find people of interest to you, you can connect with them in multiple ways: invite them to add you as a friend, send them messages, invite them to a group, or simply add them to your watchlist.
