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.
