Review of diigo

diigo Reviewed 10 Aug 2009 · Average score 80%

Summary

The site is easy to read and linearises well - keyboard access is good although there are so many links that scanning is difficult. The content is text based with many tags. Contrast levels are good although text tends to be small and may need to be zoomed.
