¡¡¡¡SAN DIEGO, Sept. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- DEMOfall 2007 -- Diigo, http://www.diigo.com, today announced an information network that adds an entirely new dimension to the Web. The new Diigo network creates global communities around information, topics, and knowledge. These communities connect people through the content they collect, while also enabling people to discover and share information that matters to them with others in the network.

    Diigo users have the ability to "write" on the Web, adding new layers on top of individual Web pages. Every sticky note and highlight added across the Web expands Diigo''s dedicated social information network, allowing users to discuss content directly on each page.

    Diigo users can also now create or join groups. Diigo groups provide a forum for collaborative research and learning -- connecting people with similar interests. Users can pool their findings through group bookmarks, highlights, and sticky notes. Researchers can also create private groups for sharing and collaboration among specific teams. Combined, Diigo''s annotation capabilities and content-centric social networking offer greatly increased potential for communication, productivity, and collaboration.

    Diigo also introduces the ability to publish interactive slideshows of Web pages, based on feeds or lists of bookmarks. The new WebSlides widget is an embeddable player that can showcase live Web pages on blogs, Web sites, or other social networks. Diigo users can also annotate each page in a slideshow with sticky notes and highlights.

    "It would be easy to dismiss Diigo as yet another social bookmarking tool, but that would be a big mistake," said Chris Shipley, executive producer of the DEMOfall conference. "Diigo''s highlighting, bookmarking and site sharing tools are a subset of features in a rich collaborative application that puts information discovery and the writable Web at the center of discussions among colleagues, friends, and like-minded people. Diigo represents a move to maturity in the Web 2.0; it is a business tool, leveraging social models to deliver real value to its users."
