Diigolet now supports Groups!
We have just updated a new diigolet that supports sharing bookmarks / annotations to your selected group(s).
We recommend that you completely reinstall the Diigolet in the Tools section this time (see instruction here).
Click Diigolet, after the menu drops down, usse the “Bookmark / Share” button to share to groups.
Diigolet is a lightweight but great alternative for those who cannot or don’t wish to download a toolbar, and for Safari, Maxthon, K-Meleon, etc. users…

“Recommended Toolbar Settings” for Beginners and Advanced Users
The Diigo toolbar offers lots of advanced and powerful features. Many are fully customizable in the Toolbar options area.
We’ve been working to find a better way to let new users to learn the basic Diigo offerings, so they can easily get started without being overwhelmed by all the bells and whistles. As they get more familiar with the site and basic features, we can then help users explore the many advanced Diigo features they may not be even aware of.
With that in mind, we thought of a three pronged approach:
- Start with the Diigolet (no installation needed).With Diigo’s capability of marking directly on any webpage, our “Welcome - Getting Started” is uniquely interactive, ie. any new user can read the instructions and immediately follow along and try out highlighting & adding sticky notes right on the same page as the instructions.
- Recommended Toolbar Settings:To make it easier for beginners and advanced users to explore Diigo’s toolbar capabilities at different stages, we have decided to offer two kinds of recommended settings: “Beginners” & “Advanced Users”.
Go to Diigo toolbar >> Options>>Toolbar and Menus tab, and select the preferred mode. Make sure you click “OK” to save. Of course, you can always customize any setting by checking off the options you prefer.
Beginner Settings:- Icons displayed: Highlight, Sticky Note (floating note), Filtered Bookmark Lists, Options, My Home
- Each icon’s text label is shown
- The Content Selection Menu (CSM) is disabled
- You are not prompted to add tags when first highlighting
- Diigo is not displayed on the top in the right-click menu
- Advanced Toolbar Settings:
- Icons displayed: Sticky Note (floating note), Filtered Bookmark list, Clip, My Home, QuickD, Search, Blog this, About
- Each icon’s text label is not shown
- CSM is enabled
- You are prompted to add tags
- Diigo is displayed on the top in the right-click menu
We’re constantly looking for ways to improve our users’ experience. We’d very much appreciate your feedback and input to help us make Diigo better and better.
Cheers,
~ Maggie

Video & Flash media now supported!
Good news to share: A new FF / Flock toolbar (version 1.0.2007051201) is available - Diigo now supports clipping and playing your favorite videos & flashes!
Press the 
icon in the toolbar to turn on / off the video clipping mode, then click the little blue 
button on the upper right hand corner of any video to save it to your bookmarks. That’s it! The “Clip” icon can be found in the Diigo toolbar Options (add or delete toolbar buttons) and it’s part of our “Recommended Settings for Advanced Users“.
Currently we support video/ flash media hosted by these sites:
youtube.com, myspace.com, video.google.com, video.yahoo.com, atomfilms.com, bolt.com, break.com , dailymotion.com, ifilm.com, metacafe.com , myspace.com, podtech.net , stupidvideos.com, uncutvideo.aol.com , vimeo.com
If you are a FF / Flock user, please make sure that you upgrade your toolbar to the latest version and give it a try. Our new IE toolbar with video media support will be available shortly.
Note: Thanks to early feedback from some of our users, we have now made the “Clip” button an easy ON / OFF switch. Click it only when you need it. Click it again to disable it.

Diigo “Group Forums” is here
We’ve just rolled out the new Diigo Group Forums. Now each group can host its own group forums. This allows your group members to initiate and carry on discussions on subjects of interest that may not be appropriate as notes on a single resource.
Although this is only the first phase of our forum implementation, and doesn’t quite have all the bells and whistles yet, Diigo Group Forums is quite unique in its design, just like all of our features 
There are 2 modes of structuring your Group Forums:
1) Traditional “Category” method: the Group Manager may decide to
organize forum posts according to pre-defined categories, or
2) “Tagging” method: this mode allows group members to tag each of their
own posts as they see fit. The latter method, while potentially less
tightly organized, harnesses the power of tagging in a forum setting.
Group Manager, you can enable your group forums by clicking “Manage
Forum” and selecting your setting preference.
So, give it a try, and let us know what you think!
I’d like to encourage people to start joining our “Diigo Community” public group, where you can share your review, tips, tricks, and ideas for using Diigo, and discuss our features, ideas for new features, anything Diigo related. We’ll soon phase out our old user forums, so start posting your questions, feedback … over here.
We’re going to be quite “social” in Diigo’s own unique ways. Lots more to come, so join us now
