I've been excited about it before, only to find that after a short period of time, I stop using it - in favor of something simpler.

Diigo is a social bookmarking and research tool that offers so many features it's overwhelming

The highlight of the new version is recommendations. The new Diigo offers a number of social networking type features that in-and-of themselves aren't worth a lot to me, but if they can do some number crunching and recommend people and content that I may want to subscribe to - that's gold.

What's the biggest crime committed by Del.icio.us? It's not leveraging the huge amount of data the service holds for some recommendations. Why on earth, in this data-centric era, isn't every social bookmarking service making bookmarking social and smart?

What's the biggest crime committed by Del.icio.us? It's not leveraging the huge amount of data the service holds for some recommendations. Why on earth, in this data-centric era, isn't every social bookmarking service making bookmarking social and smart? If Yahoo! held an Amazon-style contest for recommendation algorithms that could be run against Del.icio.us, they could set up a Yahoo! News style page that was personalized like nobody's business. We'd all come back daily to read Del.icio.us, they could run ads up the wazoo and everyone would be beside themselves with happiness.

Diigo has potential to change the social bookmarking game just because they are offering recommendations.

Marshal,

Thanks for the review. You are right that content recommendations can be of substantial value and Diigo is just getting started on this. Of course, Diigo 3.0 provides multiple ways for content discovery, in addition to recommendations: friends' bookmarks, subscribing to the latest content by tag(s) or site, social browsing through the diigo sidebar - people bookmarked this page or this site also bookmarked..., finding out the most popular bookmarks under certain tag(s) -- all these are great ways to discover content.

I have to disagree with this statement though: "You might also like the annotation features, though in all likelihood they will prove more trouble than they are worth unless you're an academic." Web highlights and sticky notes are proving to be a real productivity enhancer for lots of users. Group annotations have proven to be valuable for certain work groups also.

And if you are concerned about complexity, we have tried hard to make sure it is easier to use, even with a lot more features. Beginning users can quickly get on with the essential features without being bothered by the more advanced or social features.
