Around the Corner - MGuhlin.net : Diigo - Invasion of the Bookmark Snatchers  Annotated

tags: Diigo, review

Somehow, I find myself trusting Diigo more than Facebook, although you
can connect to Facebook via Diigo. What’s also present is the potential
for “Diigo-spam.” Ok, I’ve spammed everyone in my addressbook. I can’t
remember the last time I did it, but I hope that if you received an
email via Diigo from me, you’ll jump in and give this a try. If you
don’t want to, hit delete. Do I think Diigo is that powerful a tool?
Well, yes. It offers something Delicious doesn’t–groups, and a base of
operations that interfaces with other tools. If I could share
information using Diigo, ohmygosh, one ring to rule them all.

One of the other aspects of Diigo I liked was that the Diigo crew is
hopping to improve things. Importing bookmarks from Delicious API wasn’t
working well (i had to try 3-4 times), so they came up with an
alternative way to accomplish the import. Dean
Shareski complained about the interface, and they re-did the user
interface. There’s also talk of creating an education (student) friendly
Diigo….

Easy group subscription - I wish there was a URL I could share with
people. They click on it, and bam, if they have a Diigo account,
they’re subscribed. If they lack an account, it walks them through the
process then makes sure to hook them up with the group. I just don’t
see how to do it easily now.
