We are starting to make a whole series of Diigo videos. And we’ve got “attitude” ~ the Diigo’s way 
This is an overview of what Diigo is today. There will be a lot more coming as Diigo continues to evolve. Let us know what you think. If you like it, please help us spread the words and share it with your friends. Thanks!

We had a blast at Office2.0 Conference last week - a very classy conference. Bravo, Ismael!
While Wade attended sessions and meetings, I spent most of my time around the demo pot area where every station has a new iMac and an external 19″ flat panel displays used for logo and mounted on arms clamped to the table. No setup required - that worked out very well.
Of course, there is the traffic: we met a lot of people and had many great conversations. It is especially awesome to have people come up and introduce themselves as Diigo users. Thanks for stopping by. Very sweet to see more and more Diigo fans out there and we’re meeting you in person.
Among juggling many tasks, I’ve been doing a lot of traveling and talking to a lot of folks lately, so don’t have much time to write blog and interact in our forums (but we do read every single comment, especially with our timely alert now ) Joel has been picking up the slack helping out our users with feedback and issues. He is just super…
I notice that in his IM customized signature he wrote: “every complaint is really a wish”. I think it sums up our team’s spirit quite well - it’s important that we constantly stay in tune with our users, as we are trying to listen and embrace our users’ input, and driving ourselves hard to create a super awesome service that delivers innovations, good user experience and value to them.
cheers,

We’re working on our next major release. We’d like to invite some loyal Diigo users to participate in our closed alpha testing. We’re looking for users who want to help us make Diigo the best it can be by reporting bugs and making suggestions.
For now, we plan to be selective and only open up few limited spots. To be considered, we’d love to learn more about you. In case we have more volunteers than we can accommodate, please bear with us… we’ll be sure to save your name and email and try to get you in at some point in the future.
For more information, please view here.
Thanks so much and looking forward to hearing from you!

One Diigo fan just sent me this very cute picture he made up. Thanks, Adam - awesome! I got his permission to share it:
This reminds me of a charming poem I saw earlier by another Diigo enthusiast, Jim Stroud:
I diigo
He diigo
She diigo
We diigo
(Shouldn’t you diigo too?)Ah… Diigo, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways…
1. I love thee for the free tool that you are.
2. I love thee for your practical knowledge management style.
3. I love thee for thou art so easy to use. I click, I bookmark, I leave a sticky note, I see my sticky notes when I return to a website I have been to before. I smile and say…
Great vibes! Thanks for sharing your love for Diigo

We had a blast last week in SF attending both conferences. We met lots of great people, had many face-to-face discussions, and learned new trends and players in the Web2.0 and Office2.0 arena. And our presentation went quite well, as we’re the audience favorite in the Collective Intelligence category.
Here is a nice “Under the Radar Award” logo they sent us.
Alison Murdock, president of Dealmaker media, summarized: “Diigo is one of the most talked about collaboration/sticky-note companies…. Summary: The judges’ largest recommendation for these companies is to grow from the bottom up… Which loosely translates to make raving fans of the individual user and then make an enterprise version…”
Given that Diigo has not yet focused on the enterprise market, and this UTR conference theme is “Office2.0″, it’s not surprising that we were not chosen by the panelists despite their very positive comments at the session, as even the moderator Rafe Needleman said: “Diigo: judges liked it a lot.”
Diigo is clearly a new kind of online research & collaborative research app that addresses the pain felt by many. Of course, Diigo will not be just another tool. The ability to write and mark on webpages, and interact and collaborate so easily, allows us to offer innovative and better ways to enhance online knowledge management, sharing and social discovery, which we will fully exploit and relentlessly innovate, going forward…

Welcome to the new Diigo blog. Yes, it’s finally here
Since Diigo’s inception, we’ve been very blessed by the kind help we’ve received from many of our users, ranging from active bug reporting and feature suggestions, to words of encouragement. We’re very thankful for your input. Communication so far has taken place on our active user forums, IM, and by e-mail.
We’ve tried to be responsive, to embrace and listen to our users’ needs. Some active users and few people that we have come in contact with have actually become friends! This is not something we expected when we started working on Diigo - but we love it…
But as several of you commented, it’s so not “web 2.0” to be without our own blog nowadays! So far we’ve been quite focused on our efforts to keep improving what we offer our users. Since some of you asked about our blog, we’ve decided it shouldn’t be put off any longer.
In keeping with our goals of research, productivity, and collaboration founded on a rich social platform, we want to offer you posts focused on those areas. It will be a place for Diigo users, and anyone else interested in what Diigo can do, to find the latest news, updates, tips, musings, and ramblings.
This is our blog and your blog. We’d like to encourage our readers to participate. The more each member of the Diigo community becomes involved, the more we all benefit. We welcome your comments, suggestions & contributions. Please comment away or contact us directly at feedback at diigo dot com.
Bloggily yours,
The Diigo Team
