This service is much better than SU in some cases and exceeds all expectations as a bookmarking, annotating, reviewing, sharing, demonstrating tool. Makes possible things you never imagine that you can do to a webpage you are viewing !!! Part of our syllabus at Vyass Information Center and one of the virtual teaching tools we use regularly ever since it launched. From the page: "Highlight, Clip and Sticky-Note for any webpage * Just as you would on paper - Write on any webpage! * Make them private or public - Interact on any webpage! Share your online findings with your friends and colleagues * Complete with highlights and sticky notes * As lists, as blogs, as albums, as feeds, or via email * In groups Diigo makes it easy to: * Collect and compile your research findings * Allow groups to collaborate on research or web design * Make wishlists, do comparison shopping, or plan vacations"

If you like sticky-notes, highlighters, and the ability to keep your interests private, then you'll love diig. I like it because I can log bookmarks into a different folder, tag them for an article that I'm writing about, and then highlight the passages that I want to paraphrase. Diig also offers the opportunity to work within a group and to make your notations and bookmarks public. But, being the shy person that I am (ahem) [that was in a script somewhere, I just know it], this tool - which is FREE - is invaluable.

Diigo is a social bookmarking/annotation tool with a lot of unique features absent elsewhere, primarily, ability to highlight and attach sticky notes to any part of the web page, search the cached versions of your bookmarked pages. Unfortunately the execution of the idea isn't that great. When I checked it last time several months ago it was unusable, now it is better. I am trying to use it again as the features are compelling. However, Diigo still has a long way to go in terms of reliability. Hopefully, someday they will debug it and remove "beta", making it a great tool to use.

Kind of like a powered-up http://del.icio.us but with the added layer of communal comments - sounds pretty cool. Trying it out now...

Diigo allows you to highlight text on a page, bookmark it, and share notations with other people. Very useful as a reference tool, especially if you want to collaborate on research.

I think diigo will be big, because Highlight, Clip and Sticky-Note for any webpage is awesome. diigo is social bookmarking on steriods like the makers say.

Diigo is going to revolutionise the way I work. My bookmarks will finally follow me wherever I go, I'll remember why I had a specific webpage open, and what that epiphany was. I can forward a page to my partner, and have him read precisely what I want him to. I can leave notes for myself wherever I want. *sigh!* All this with just one, instead of 4 or 5 extensions.

Killer features for finding, managing and sharing online information. A great personal tool and a rich social platform.
