Charles,

I started using Diigo 2 weeks ago and liked it so much that I decided to join a couple of existing groups. I found one for Twitter and one for WordPress. After receiving a few group updates via email from the WordPress group, I quickly realized that what I really needed is a WordPress.com group. So I created one and I am very excited about it. The goal of the group is to share any information that is specific to improving or gaining traffic for WordPress.com blogs.

If anyone would like to join, please search under groups for WordPress.com Users and send a request. But if you would rather just view the articles we have collected so far I’m sure you will find them very useful.

Diigo is a much better was to collaborate on projects than many other services out there. Another good strategy is to use Twitter along with Diigo to generate interest and get feedback for a project.

I work with an Academic Outreach program and I plan to share this resouce with educators in my network as well.

Thanks for the post.

I just started using Diigo two hours ago and I am hooked. I am working on an article for EContent Magazine that requires lots of research and it has already proven invaluable in terms of organizing the research and making it easy for me to retrieve. I am particularly impressed with the ability to annotate content on web pages and have that automatically saved in my library WITH the highlighted content pulled out. This is huge for journalists, or any content creator working on a big project. Love it. I will be sure to spread the word.

I’ve been using Diigo for a while and have found its update to be tremendously helpful, in terms of UX and focus. Splitting my time between my daily work scheduled and full-time classes, this is one service I feel actually increases collaborative efforts in my information management courses.

Charles, Thanks for a nice article. We have worked with Diigo in the past and their innovation is a hair’s breadth now from being what I think they always wanted it to be. With the version 4.0 additions, the development is almost at the point where business and individuals alike can do research in ways never before thought of.

Several of these tools have come out, many of which are just copies of Diigo really. A lot of the buzz about some of them is just that. If Diigo, as you say, would not over engineer so much, then the core tool could be refined more. To a degree this version has done some of that.

Again, a great mention for one of Web 2.0′s most successful and worthwhile startups. Watch for what is next, from a semi-insider’s viewpoint. Take care and keep writing the good stuff.

Always,
Phil

Diigo made a really great update! I’m using Diigo since 1 year – it’s indeed one of the best and fastest bookmark services on Net!
