Diigo, A Del.icio.us Alternative

I tried a new service called diigo. (dee’go). The diigo service is not only an alternative to del.icio.us, but aspires to more. Using diigo, you are combining social bookmarking, clippings, in situ annotation, tagging, full-text search, and sharing. You can add highlights and sticky notes on any web page you read. To get the most out of diigo, it’s recommended that you install the adware-free diigo toolbar. Or if you are like me, and are completely dead-set against toolbars (except the Google one, of course), you also have the option of using a bookmarklet instead. Diigo users can write on a transparency of sorts that overlays the webpage you’re bookmarking, leaving either private notes or public comments. You can even import your del.icio.us bookmarks, a necessary feature if they want to woo away those users. Not a bad service, but perhaps a bit much for me. There’s something to be said for the simplicity of del.icio.us. However, if you’ve wished del.icio.us could do more, you may like diigo. I have 20 invites; comment if you want one.
