What's NewFrom 1Table of contents
April 4, 2008We have been making lots of small changes and improvements recently. Too many to report here. One change that is perhaps especially easy to spot is that we have re-arranged the top navigation menu on the site so Friends' Bookmarks and WatchList are now all under "Discover" . So if you are now in a browsing or discovery mode, you can choose any of the options under "Discover" and I think you will find a lot of interesting content to dig in. March 20, 2008Diigo 3.0 goes live! Our team sweated on this for almost a year, with the kind help of many private beta users. Needlessly to say, we are overjoyed and relieved that V3 finally gets to say hello to the world! Several of us have not had the chance to use our season ski pass at all this winter, and will be looking forward to catching some final days of the season! It is now your turn, our dear users, to find out what the new Diigo can do for you. We think you will find the new Diigo easier to use, more robust, and much much more powerful! (The site may experience some slowness during the transition due to increased traffic and the fact that the new codes may still need some performance tuning) To get started, watch the Video Tutorials, explore "Getting Started", check out our new blog post, and read the press release below and the new "About Diigo" Press Release: Diigo Launches V3: A Marriage between Rich Web Research Tools and Social NetworkingReno, Nevada, March 20, 2008 -- Diigo, http://www.diigo.com, today announced the launch of Diigo 3.0, a next generation social bookmarking and annotation service that enables users to increase research productivity, readily exchange information, and connect with others who share their interests and concerns. This launch includes a completely new UI and code base, and over 100 new features. In addition to substantial improvements in its usability and power as a research tool, the new Diigo tightly integrates social networking with knowledge-sharing, making Diigo a pioneer in what may be called "social information networking." Following is an overview of the new features and enhancements: Improved usability as a research tool:The entire browser extension has been re-designed for improved ease of use, and it now provides a sidebar where a user can easily search and access his bookmarks, and view all the annotations associated with the current web page. On the website, a new and innovative way to organize bookmarks as lists is provided, in addition to organizing by tags. Improvements as a team research platform: Diigo's powerful group bookmarks and annotations have been further improved. Group members can now vote up bookmarks so important information emerges on the top. Group tag dictionary, an innovative concept by Diigo, is introduced to help tagging consistency. Social Browsing: Diigo Toolbar now enables a social browsing experience. While you are reading a web page, the Diigo sidebar shows you who else has bookmarked or commented on this page, who else has bookmarked other pages on the same site, and what other similar pages and sites they have bookmarked. Personalized Social Content: Diigo as a source of social content has been substantially enhanced. You can now find and subscribe to the most recent or most popular bookmarks under any set of tags. You can also discover interesting content through your friends. Based on your bookmarking activities, Diigo provides recommended news and resources personalized to your interests. Social Information Networking: Rich social networking features have been tightly integrated with social bookmarking and annotation to enable more meaningful social connections and intellectual exchanges. So you can keep in touch and interact with friends through readings and annotations non-intrusively and with little extra effort. Multiple ways are provided for sharing information with friends both on Diigo and elsewhere, with varying degrees of non-intrusiveness. You can also find "people like me" - those who are closest to you in interests, or search people by tags or sites to find others who share certain specific interests with you. Once you find people of interest to you, you can connect with them in multiple ways: invite them to add you as a friend, send them messages, invite them to a group, or simply add them to your watchlist.
