- I used Furl; now acquired by Diigo. Suppose I will have to try Diigo, but sorry about Furl!
 smarty7 rated 4 months agointernet-tools - Diigo, Recently acquired furl. It's not a ultimate website but is flowing to that direction.

- Thumbs down, but I wanted the review read, so here it is-
I had never heard of Diigo until I stumbled a page that tells you where your username is in use.
Diigo's research may be a little TOO thorough...
EVERY SINGLE NAME, including randomly tapped strings of gibberish and made up names (both on the spot and years ago), EVERYTHING was already in use at Diigo.
Good luck finding a name when you sign up there... provided that gadget is working correctly.

This site looks very interesting. Definitely worth a look. Started in 2006 and it has learned from other Web 2.0 sites' design mistakes. As of Dec 2008, my impression while using it:
* Nice clean look of Facebook
* Bookmarking like del.icio.us
* Read/Unread marks like the Read It Later add-on
* Imports from Delicious, Magnolia, Simpy, Blinklist, Furl, Connotea, Rawsugar
* Automatic synchronization with Delicious if you want to use both services simultaneously
* Export to IE or Netscape bookmark, RSS, CSV, Delicious.
* Content can be sent/shared with Diigo friends or by email.
* Share a link or share a list with a friend or with a group.
* Groups/Forums
* Buzz page
* Annotation like Google Notebooks/Clipmarks/Scrapbook
* Toolbar is a tad complex but configurable with a myriad of options for power users.
* OpenID option
* RSS feeds
* Everything is searchable!
* No skinning or themes. Hooray, it's not gonna be MySpace!
* No photoblogging or video blogging? It has comments and annotations but that's not quite blog-like.
* No link checker?
* Integration with Twitter and minor hooks to others like Digg, Bloglines, Technorati.
* Like StumbleUpon, it has the option to save to your bookmarks.
* Poor spam control. Bad!
* Similarity meter
* Privacy controls
* and more
For me, it will consolidate and replace my delicious, Read It Later and bookmarks. How about StumbleUpon? Firstly, are friends as easily portable as data? Diigo's toolbar and forums definitely makes it a winner over delicious but it's lacking the convenience of the stumble button. It approaches content discovery a little differently. It presents you with a list of 20 recommended web sites and displays the URLs for you to pick. I actually prefer knowing where I'm going rather than blindly stumbling around the web and mayhap going to a bad website.
