Getting Started with Diigo
Installing the Toolbar
Download the toolbar. Click the "Install Diigo Toolbar" button.
Run DiigoToolbar.3.0.Xexe. Restart your browser.
Not Allowed to Install Toolbars? Diigolet is not as feature-rich as the Diigo
toolbar, but it can be set-up by simple drag-and-drop - no download or installation needed, and it works for all major browsers. Diigolet is a "super bookmarklet" that allows you to
highlight and add sticky-notes, in addition to simple bookmarking.
