Introduction:
Diigo is a social bookmarking website that allows signed-
up users to bookmark and tag Web pages. Additionally, it allows users to
highlight any part of a webpage and attach sticky notes to specific
highlights or to a whole page. These annotations can be kept private,
shared with a group within Diigo, or be forwarded to someone else via a
special link. The name "Diigo" is an acronym from "Digest of Internet
Information, Groups and Other stuff".
Premium account holders can perform full-text searches of cached copies
of bookmarks. A full-text search also searches page URLs, tags and
annotations. This means that premium account holders can choose to omit
tags that already appear in the text of a page to be bookmarked (although
text inside images cannot be searched).
The launch of Diigo met with mixed responses, from the unimpressed to
the enthusiastic. Diigo beta was listed as one of the top ten research tools
by CNET in 2006.
Outside the website, Diigo's graphical user interface includes an
optional bookmarklet, or a customizable toolbar, with various search
capabilities. Highlight is enabled by a menu that can either appear
automatically when content is selected, or be embedded into the context
menu.
In March 2009, Diigo acquired web -clipping
service Furl from Looksmart for an undisclosed price.
The site also has an extension available on the Chrome Web Store.
Mobile apps for Diigo are available on iOS, Android and Windows Phone
