The name “Diigo” is an abbreviation for “Digest of Internet Information, Groups and Other stuff.”Diigo (dee’go) is about “Social Annotation“. By combining social bookmarking, clippings, in situ annotation, tagging, full-text search, easy sharing and interactions, Diigo offers a powerful personal tool and a rich social platform for knowledge users, and in the process, turns the entire web into a writable, participatory and interactive media.

The social annotation service introduced by Diigo allows users to add highlights and sticky notes, in situ, on any web page they read. Imagine a giant transparency overlaying on top of all the web pages. Users can write on the transparency as they wish, as private notes or public comments. And they can read public comments on the transparency left by other readers of the same page, and hear their “two cents” and interact with them.

Talkr is a Web-based speech synthesizer that takes the texts of blogs and generates and MP3 file, with a computer voice speaking the text. For people who just want to visit their favorite text blogs and listens to them, Talkr works as blog management tool; you simply add your favorite blogs to your account, and it will create a computer-generated voice mp3 for each entry. Meanwhile, for all of you bloggers out there, Talkr lets you embed a computer-generatd mp3 into each of your blog entries, and supplies you with an RSS feed for them. This means that users can either come to your blog and click a link to listen to the mp3, or they can use iTunes or another podcast management tool to subscribe to the feed and receive each new mp3 file automatically.

FrontPage® and DreamWeaver® are both great pieces of software but they were NOT designed with Internet Marketers in mind. XSitePro was, which is why it has rapidly become the web site development tool of choice for Internet Marketers who are serious about running a profitable online business.

During every stage of the development process we had the Internet Marketer in mind, which is why the software is packed to the brim with features that are designed especially to make your life easier and to maximize the chance of online success.

Whether you are a complete newbie to Internet Marketing or a long-established online entrepreneur you will find that XSitePro will:

* Cut your development time down massively (what previously took days and weeks will take hours and minutes)

* Allow you to do things that were previously only possible by employing costly programmers and web development staff, which means that you control your web site and not the techies.

* Let you concentrate on building your online business rather than allowing untold hours to be soaked up developing web sites.

* Take away the frustration of web site development so that running your online business becomes a pleasure rather than a chore.

* Put tools at your disposal which will allow you to take your new or existing business to the next level of success.

* Make it easy to keep your web sites up-to-date so that they don’t end up becoming cobwebs (i.e. like the vast majority of Internet Marketing web sites that are rarely if ever updated because it is just too much trouble using conventional tools)

• discover high demand, low competition keywords for each Google match type (broad, phrase and exact)
• test out literally hundreds of theme ideas for AdGroups with just one click while learning which ones will deliver the most clicks at the best price

Tool #3: Ad Spy Tool
