Diigo-social bookmarking - http://qik.com/video/104703
This is freaking awesome. Great way to bookmark things, collaboate on them, get them onto Twitter and, soon, FriendFeed. http://www.diigo.com - Robert Scoble
I moved from diijgo back to delicious because delicious was supported by FF and diigo was not. What is the number one reason why diigo is better than delicious? - Thomas Hawk
You can get them onto Friendfeed now - they just added the feature a few days ago. - David Worrell
I've been using Diigo for months now. I don't use all the features, but I still think it's much better than delicious or magnolia, & I've been trying to convert all my friends...rather unsuccessfully :( - Jennifer Van Grove from twhirl
I tried Diigo. And I was impressed, but their Firefox extension isn't as good the Del.icio.us add-on. And that matters. A lot. - Marshall
I am skeptical that most of the commenters here probably work for diigo. I already use evernote.com and I love it, so why would I switch? http://www.evernote.com What do you think of that Mr. Scoble? - the constant skeptic
@Thomas, get the best of both worlds and set up auto-post to Del.icio.us from Diigo. That's what I do since a lot of services don't use my diigo stream but will use del.icio.us. My favorite feature of Diigo is the annotation stuff (highlighting stuff on the page and making notes). And the FireFox sidebar is quite nice and handy. Surprised Diigo is new to you, Robert! - Lindsay is :)
I use diigo to keep bookmarks both on ma.gnolia and del.icio.us, I like both services for different reasons, I hate double let alone triple posting but that have suited me pretty well so far - Dobromir Hadzhiev
I downloaded the toolbar and it promptly crashed FF3 4 times I had to disable it :( - Sally Church
It's cute - but I am not goign to trust them with that much info. delicious has my bookmarks but the important annotations and clippings live in OneNote, on my own drive, backed up alone with my other data. Why build all that knwoledge into a website app I may or may not be able to ever extract it from? - Soulhuntre from twhirl
but someone answer this one question. What is one significant reason why diigo is better than delicious. - Thomas Hawk
@Thomas it's not directly better, but ma.gnolia is better than del.icio.us(microformats, community, design) del.icio.us is an old giant whitch has all of us locked because of it's popularity, haven't seen one new thing from them lately - Dobromir Hadzhiev
I used to use Magnolia but then the "bookmark this" marklet thingy stopped working and when I contacted them they blamed my browser (Firefox) there was no easy fix so I switched back to delicious. I'm all for new technology, but it has to be be better than the current iteration. So why again is diigo better than delicious? I need more than just it's the newest thing. - Thomas Hawk
yes the main reason I stayed with del.icio.us beside the exposure was the extension, but other than that ma.gnolia doesn't have issues and is pretty nice place to hang out, can disagre that the thank you mail is a neat feature. After all if you're happy with a service living in the past, fine I say thank God flickr isn't following the same path - Dobromir Hadzhiev
Thomas et al: the coolest part of this I've found is the annotation feature. It's like Word/Acrobat annotations where you can add sticky notes and highlights and such directly to pages you bookmark. I'm not too familiar with delicious (I use magnolia myself), and I'm not really into social bookmarking, so I can't really explain too much on that end. - Mark Trapp
Mento supports FriendFeed as well. (and Twitter, delicious, magnolia, Tumblr) And it supports custom screenshots with every bookmark (even works with Skitch) What makes Diigo better than Mento? (http://mento.info) - Bwana
Bwana, so far, it's like Ma.gnolia with the ability to annotate a page on the page itself. It's a neat trick. - Mark Trapp
Ah I see, but will people have the patience to do this correctly? I could see some use in it - Bwana
I work with clients who swear by similar features in Office and Acrobat. I could use this, especially since I can share my annotations with friends. Plus, it seems to have feature parity with Magnolia only zippier. I'm switching for the time being. - Mark Trapp
This is very cool for collaboration (as probably noted already by Robert). Question though, do you have to sign up for Diigo in order to view the annotations? - Bwana
Playing with the "Diigoet " (essentially a toolbar) in Safari, and it looks like as long as you have that (or a Diigo toolbar), you can see all public annotations on a page. Interesting. - Mark Trapp
Ugh, ok. One can hope. - Bwana
The toolbar also provides alexa type information regarding bookmarking: http://twurl.nl/l1maqe - Mark Trapp
so then the only reason to use diigo over delicious is so that you can view annotations? I'm not sure this is a compelling enough reason to switch. - Thomas Hawk
Find the ability to annotate and highlight useful. For me, it's worth switching. - Tom Landini
And while most of my tags are still one word, I do occasionally find the ability to use multi-word tags useful. Diigo lets me do that. - David Worrell
Wish this were in the form of a screencast video .. cell phone cameras aren't just ready to capture computer screens. - Amit Agarwal
Between Scoble and Gray, I now say 'morning' to my wife and spend the rest of the day playing with new (free) toys. Is something wrong with this picture? - Charlie Anzman
@Charlie: I don't know. sounds pretty good to me. What do you do at the end of the day? - edythe
@Charlie, why waste your morning like that? - Louis Gray
