Diigo - Enough Evolution?

I’ve been using Diigo for about a week now. I can’t find those features. I’m having a hard time trying to give Diigo a fair shake, because I have about a bazillion Delicious bookmarks. As do many others. So there’s a considerable network effect here. But I like the idea of overlaid comments (though I think Hoodwink’d does it better).

Diigo , which stands for “Digest of Internet Information, Groups and Other stuff”, is a social bookmarking site that allows users to highlight multiple content areas, including pictures, tag the page, and bookmark it. Users can also add sticky notes to a highlighted text area. It has other good features as well - see the flash demo for a good overview. Many of the bookmarking sites are starting to blur together for me. I like Diigo and the founders are politely efficient in getting the word out. The company has also executed well and released a polished product. But at the end of the day I’m not sure how many social bookmarking sites can make the cut. I will say this, though. I like the idea of public and private “sticky” notes on a website ( Activeweave promises this, and I saw a really great demo two months ago, but it hasn’t launched yet). And I also like the ability to highlight multiple areas of a website in my bookmarks ( Kaboodle does a great job of this). But, as you can see, for just about every feature, there are multiple companies already attacking the space with vigor. Good luck to all. It’s going to be a long, hard fight. With perhaps as much as a $30 million payout at the end of the day.

The ability to tag things INSTANTANEOUSLY–no waiting for an interface to load, no waiting for the original page to reload after you tag–is enough to make me use it! Note that you can easily have it duplicate every new bookmark in delicious, so you’re still participating in that community at the same time!

One more BIG–but not at first apparent–advantage is that you can type a set of tags in t e search bar, and then every time you hit “QuickD” you create a bookmark with those tags. I find generally I’m researching something in particular, thus opening a lot of sites on the same topic, and when i want to tag something it’s w/the same tag as the last site, and the siee before that, and the site before that…So I’m not only having to wait for a tagging interface to load for all these sites, but also not having to remember exactly which tags I’ve been using for consistency (not to mention not having to retype them for every page!)…

I bet that’s supposed to be two people holding hands in the logo, but my brain says it’s a smiling walrus.

I also like the fact that when I tag something at del.icio.us I get a list of suggested tags. The social networking needs to share the thoughts of others. The amount of times I import links into del.icio.us and think ‘Why didn’t I add that tag originally?’ is invaluable and is the strength of why del.icio.us is so good.
