What is Diigo, & what does it do?





Diigo is a social bookmarking website that allows signed-up users to bookmark and tag Web pages. Additionally, it allows users to highlight any part of a webpage and attach sticky notes to specific highlights or to a whole page

Much of our information consumption and research, whether at home or at work, has shifted online. We are now spending a big part of our day working with online information - reading and researching related to travel, health, shopping, career, hobbies, news, online learning, smart investing, school papers, work projects, you name it.

Yet the workflow with information, from browsing, reading, researching, annotating, storing, . organizing, remembering, collaborating, sharing, to connecting dots into knowledge, is still largely ad-hoc and inefficient. Diigo is here to streamline the information workflow and dramatically improve your productivity. Our users include law firms, marketing agencies, consultants, recruiters, web designers, researchers, students, teachers … -- basically anyone who consumes lots of online information, either individually or as a team.

Diigo is actually an abbreviation for “Digest of Internet information, Groups, and Other stuff”. Yeah, I didn’t come up with the name. If it were up to me the name would have been something similar to other products in social bookmarking “when it was cool” like Delicious or Digg. The net overall has moved away from using social bookmarking as an SEO tool since the big G changed their algorithm and social bookmarking stopped being an effective way of increasing site rankings. This change also effectively killed many sites based on that function.

This is an aspect that differentiates Diigo from all the other sites though, as we are still fully operational and have tried our best to adapt to the ever-changing needs of our users. I cannot call Diigo a startup, as we have been active for almost 10 years. We are a boot-strapped company and have never looked for external funding. We’ve never been acquired. We are not from Silicon Valley. We’ve had the same CEO this whole time, with team members that have been with us for 6+ years.

Some members of the tech community would consider a company in our position in “startup purgatory”. The way we look at it is that we really want to see our small vision of filling in what we view as a missing feature from the world wide web, “your own personalized layer of the internet”.
