If you were wondering why you are not able to access www.diigo.com in the last 24 hours you should find out that their domain was hijacked.
As the announcement on the backup website http://www.diigo.net says “someone gained access to our Yahoo domain registrar account, and illegally hijacked the domain, www.diigo.com.”
The bookmarks on your account will not work on this backup website and in order to save new bookmarks to diigo.net you should install a special bookmarklet. Also, if you want to stay updated with the current evolution of facts you should follow the tweets at twitter.com/diigo.
Diigo provides a browser add-on that can really improve your research productivity. As you read on the web, instead of just bookmarking, you can highlight portions of web pages that are of particular interest to you. You can also attach sticky notes to specific parts of web pages. Unlike most other web “highlighters” that merely clip, Diigo highlights and sticky notes are persistent in the sense that whenever you return to the original web page, you will see your highlights and sticky notes superimposed on the original page, just what you would expect if you highlighted or wrote on a book!
