Press Release Summary: At DEMOfall 07, Diigo debuts an online network to increase
personal productivity, enhance information exchange, and connect people

Press Release Body: DEMOfall, San Diego, Calif. -- Sept. 24, 2007 -- Diigo,
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.

Diigo offers a variety of productive ways for people with common interests to easily
find one another and aggregate into specific groups or communities. \"Interest
Neighbors\" help people identify other users who share similar interests; \"Site
Communities\" unite users who annotate the same website; \"Advanced People Search\"
identifies users based on reading interests and their profile information; and
\"Friends\" creates a connection between people.

\"Diigo combines the best of social networking, bookmarking, highlighting, and
annotating to let people discover, save, and share the information that is important
to them personally or professionally,\" said Wade Ren, CEO of Diigo. \"Not only can
people find a collective repository of searchable and relevant information, but they
can markup and save information along the way - all while connecting with
like-minded people for future collaboration.\"

"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 DEMO. "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."
