Use Diigo to save websites. You can access the websites on any computer. But, Diigo is more powerful as a research tool. Instead of just bookmarking, highlight portions of web pages that you find useful. You can attach sticky notes to specific parts of web pages. The highlights and sticky notes stay on the webpage - never worry about losing your personalized information! Diigo enables effective collaborative research. You can easily share your findings, complete with your highlights and sticky notes, with friends and colleagues. A project team, a class, or a club can create a group on Diigo to pool relevant resources, findings and thoughts together. Try Diigo today!
