My favorite feature? When you highlight a word on any page a drop down menu automatically appears (see image below) that lets you:

search for the highlighted words on the web with any of four search engines
search for highlighted terms in four social bookmarking systems
do a blog search for highlighted terms
search for your terms in the entire site you are on (Google, Yahoo, Ask site: search)
search for inbound links to the URL you are on in four different search engines (including Technorati and Google)
search for your highlighted terms in seven different verticals from local to TV to stocks.
search for the highlighted words on the web.

This post was actually posted directly from “Diigo”. After I created a free account and installed the Firefox toolbar, I just highlighted a quote on a website and right-clicked when the quote was automatically posted to my blog. The tool as many more features such as highlighting text directly and placing sticky notes with your comments.
I am looking forward in using and exploring this tool furhter.
