- A lot of people have begun to use Delicious and I like to see what other people are bookmarking and to search via group keywords.

- So why do I use Diigo?
  
  I like its ability to enhance my bookmarking with highlights and sticky notes, that are retained with the page when I go back to it.
  
  I like that you can highlight and publish easily from Diigo to you blog or an email, and a reference appears automatically along with the posting.
  
  I like the ability to create lists on specific topics that can be shared.
  
  I like the ability to create groups to pool resources for specific subjects. I recently joined a few Diigo groups and have had some very useful sites brought to my attention.
  
  I like that you can access and search the bookmarks anywhere by full-text and tags.
  
  I like to search for the most popular bookmarks on a particular subject.
  
  I like the different ways to share and aggregate information that Diigo offers. I have set it up so that a list of my new bookmarks appears on this blog on a weekly basis but this is just one option. You can now choose to automatically
  
  The tool bar is easy to download and makes it easy to use and aspect of Diigo whenever you are on line.
- Of course you can keep things private if you choose to but that is really defeating the purpose of Diigo in the first place.
  
  Diigo also began offering, on Sept 19th, a Diigo Education Account Facility. I haven’t investigated this yet but a post about it was put onto the SLAV Bright Ideas blog. It is worth looking at. From Diigo
  
  ‘The Diigo Educator Accounts offer a suite of features that makes it incredibly easy for teachers to get their entire class of students or their peers started on collaborative research using Diigo’s powerful web annotation and social bookmarking technology.’
  
  For an educator account, you do have to apply and fill out how/why you want to use Diigo in your school.
