Diigo Aims to Fill the Void Left By Google Notebook

With Google Notebook shutting down, many people are searching for alternatives and Diigo is trying to fit itself into this space. Currently, Diigo is more focused on bookmarking and making notations around those links, but they are looking to become more flexible. Diigo’s Lists feature is the closest thing they have to Google Notebook functionality, but is not quite there yet.

Google Notebook is a bit more flexible in that an item does not have to be tied to a webpage. Diigo Lists will soon be upgraded to provide this flexibility and a lot more in the near future.

If you are looking for a place to take your Notes that also has a vibrant community and is responsive to user needs, Diigo may be the place for you.

The first step is to perfect a Google Notebook importer at Diigo and they’re looking for volunteers to help speed this up:

Just finish the GN importer alpha – doing testing now.

Need some volunteers’ help: we’d like to test more GN files, especially ones with complicated structure, links and notes. If you or you know friends who have good GNs would like to help, please

# Go to Google Notebook = > Manage notebooks.
# Click Export, choose Atom, then save the file to your computer.
# Email the export file(s) to info [at] diigo.com = > Title: Alpha help ~ GN export files
# Besides the export files, please also advise the GN url
