Add Diigo To Google Readers New “Send To” Feature
August 13th, 2009 by (jeff)isageek

diigo

So the Google Reader team recently announced a bunch of new features to the service including Send To that allows you to send the stories you find to services like twitter, del.icio.us, digg, ect

settings

I am a user of the social bookmarking site Diigo and wanted to have that available to add my stories I found interesting to my account. Google Reader was nice enough to add the feature where you could add custom services that they might not have listed by default which I thought was pretty kool.

So listed here is the info you need to use in order to get Diigo up and running for yourself.

1 – Obviously you will first log into Google Reader and go to settings. Once there click on the ‘Send To’ tab
2 – You will see the default services listed and at the bottom of the page you will see ‘Create A Custom Link’
3 – Place your title i.e diigo in this case. Under URL put this ‘http://www.diigo.com/post?url=${url}?title=${title}
4 – For an icon I grabbed the 16×16 here http://www.iconarchive.com/show/web-2-icons-by-fasticon/Diigo-icon.html

Once you have all of that click save and you should be ready to go!




  • Thanks for this.

    A direct source for the icon is http://www.diigo.com/images/ii_blue.gif
  • Just started to play around with the send to feature and of course ran into the "where is DIIGO problem" as usual. As one Michael mentions above, it is one of the most underrated service on the net.
  • Thanks for this. Nobody seems to give Diigo any love when they implement these sharing features. Good to see somebody cares.

    Not bad and it seems to work, but doesn't seem to pick up the original URL if it's hidden in some form by Google Reader. I appreciate the assistance as I prefer Diigo over the other services.
