Thank you Lisa for organizing and setting this up. And
thanks for everyone's time to learn about Diigo.
Few recommendations for
a step-by-step exploration of diigo (not all at once, but at your own leisure
pace):
1) First. check out the intro video on the homepage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RvAkTuL02A
Start using
Diigo with the very basic functionalities first -- bookmark and highlight. You
may even consider using diigolet first before trying the toolbar.
Advantage of the diigolet is that it can be just simple drag and drop,
no installation needed, and it's compatible with all browsers. Once you're
familiar with these basic functions, then you can try the Diigo toolbar which is
a lot more powerful and fully customizable.

4)
List & Webslides (optional) are very powerful function to organize, share
and present a specific collection of bookmarks. Try that next.
5) Groups
(optional) - good way to collaborate with others. If you are a group creator,
make sure you explore the "Group Tag Dictionary"
6) Widgets (optional) -
if you have a blog, try "blogthis" - great time saver! If you want to explore
further, check out other tools in http://www.diigo.com/tools
7) Send / Share - Diigo
offers various ways to share info. It's not necessary to invite friends into
diigo to start sharing. You can start by forwarding your discovery to others via
email first. So use Send >> Email or you can also share info to a group of
friends in Diigo directly.
8) Friends (optional) - check out http://help.diigo.com/How-To_Guide/Friends
Diigo is full
of subtle yet very powerful functions throughout. I can also share many other
advanced tips later. But those are good step-by-step to gradually get your feet
wet with diigo first.
Hope this helps somewhat.
