[…] So first off is Diigo.com. They claim to be the web’s premier bookmarking, annotation and research tool. Diigo`s refined aspects allow for marking, annotating, saving, sharing, organizing and manipulating Web data and essentially allows human powered research and study organization. Diigo users”grab” knowledge from all over the Web and store it in on Diigo where it can be assimilated. Looking at the tons of added features, it seems that Diggo might become a bigger social bookmarking tool than del.icio.us. There’s simply too much stuff to cover in a plug like this, we recommend you have a look for yourself. (Here’s a video on Diggo, a review by ReadWriteWeb and TechCrunch) […]

I’ve tried other app there to take back all my researchs on the web, this app is really now the best to be used, they grow so much, but not so unuseful or just for fun, it’s a real webtool that diigo … now they get to social sharing like knowledges and many other options are to be created… groups and list (of automatic bookmark tags searching) RSS, slides of sites, reuse of annotations in one place, notes, friends … diigo will explode next but soon, and it could have to be more protected against trolls… facebook or delicious have now a serious competitor .
let’s try it… it’s a very organised tool, which grows with all the users … google tries to follow, but they are really far lost against diigo, yes, true. just try it and watch. not an old app…

Mark, I have always liked your articles. I have one kind of important question. Why did you write about a version of Diigo you have admittedly never seen or tested yet?

I don’t want to be unfair, but I have tested over 300 or these startups myself and I know it is hard to make time to actually do so. Sometimes my articles sound rather thin even if I have actually been to the sites, so how can this be fair to Diigo or any other viable startup?

Diigo is actually quite a bit of a departure from simple bookmarking and I just got done putting their new toolbar through my rather fumble fingered testing. It is quite advanced and could be extraordinary with some effort.

I really think TC owes us and these innovators more than an opinion and a promise to check it out.

Always,

Phil Butler

This is great tool; more than just bookmarking. It’s nice to be able to highlight sections of a web page and then later extract just those highlighted parts; great for note-taking/research or just separating the wheat from the chaff!

BTW, after playing with it for a while now, this service looks awesome. A major improvement over delicious.

FYI, I eventually got the toolbar to work in FF3 by right clicking and manually copying the url for the plugin into FF’s url field. Not sure why it didn’t work by directly clicking on the “Install Toolbar” button.

I use Diigo almost everyday. I cant say enough good things about the application. Keep up the good work!

FF3 is already supported - I am using FF3B4.

Is there toolbar compatible with Firefox 3? I’m trying to install it but it’s not working. I can’t figure out if it’s due to their website or if it’s the fact that I’m running Firefox 3.

In either case, they should support Firefox 3 ASAP.

Nothing wrong on my end, it was a server-side error. Restarting webapps helps.

I have used Diigo for over a year now and been priviliged to participate in the v3 trials. It’s a great and reliable product and the features available now surpass the other participants in this space.

When I started using social bookmarking I opted for del.icio.us and Blinklist then adding Ma.gnolia and then Diigo. As previous posters have already shared Diigo offers the ability to bookmark in other services that offer an API. (I also used a third party FF extension that bookmarked in multiple services, which I dumped when moving to Diigo, which I don’t recall the name of.)

IMHO Blinklist seem to be floundering, their API has been broken for a while and they don’t seem to be able to “finish” their various expeditions into advanced services which is a shame.

Ma.gnolia - needs some Duracell performance. Del.icio.us still very basic despite V2 being touted - a no show yet.

I think that Diigo still have work to do for V3.1; but they do seem to be an agile user driven developer.

Funny they made comparison to Delicious 2.0.

Delicious 2.0 is having problems scaling (which is why it hasn’t been released yet, despite being announced months ago)

Diigo 3.0 can’t scale either:
“Sorry, we are experiencing temporary difficulties.
Please try again later.
If the problem persists, please kindly report to us.
… … …

Sure TechCrunch is popular, but I doubt it brings *that* much traffic. Pretty bad…..

I believe that the diigo website is down at the moment……………………………………………………but I believe it has just gone up again as I am writing this. And now it is down once again as I try to look around. Hoped to try this service.

From my experience, Diigo is far superior to Delicious. I’ve been using Diigo for a couple years now and I love it. Haven’t run into any major problems, but if by chance I do run into an issue, I just contact the Diigo team and they help me solve it ASAP.

Diigo has been indispensable in my university research… the highlighting and especially the list feature have been a great help. I also use Diigo’s group functions in my classes and with my students. Everyone seems to love seeing what others are bookmarking and what they are saying about their bookmarks.

Honestly, I can’t find a single bad thing to say about Diigo. No disrespect to Delicious, but I personally feel Diigo is a superior service.

@19: That’s how my perception saw it as well before it made two mental Rubik’s Cube turns and eventually figured out it was two guys shaking hands. But when I glance at it the first thing I see is still a smiley with a really droopy handlebar moustache.

Please, if you design a logo, before printing the letterheads give it to your mum or a friend and say ‘what does that look like to you’. You can never, ever objectively judge something like that yourself - if you draw two ‘i’s to look like two people shaking hands, to you it will look like two people shaking hands every time you look at it, even if to most people it looks like a weird face.

it’s starting to get shilly in here.

aside from that, i’ll try it, but i’m not terribly anxious to find what errors it’ll have in opera.

Tracksuite, “I compare Del.icio.us to AOL in it’s early days, as bookmarkers mature they will gravitate from accessibility and simplicity to Diigo: the Google of online bookmarking.” — so well said

Looks like a more useful service then del.icio.us.

Their logo is just goofy looking though. What is that a saber tooth smiley face?

Those wishing for tight integration of social bookmarks and Firefox Places (in FF 3) should keep an eye on GMarks and Smarky. The former is a FF extension for Google Bookmarks users, and the latter if a FF extension for Simpy users. The author of the two is the same, and is on top of FF 3 development.
Both extensions have a *lot* of features, have a look:

Richard:
I was waiting for that one.

DaveS:
Diigo has only 70K users? Where did you get that number? I’m sure it’s not public.
