- Personally, I really like the idea of social bookmarking. I had never used this tech before. Yes, I had heard of it, but never used it. I can completely see the use of using it for my own personal uses. I also really like the fact that I don' t have to always the same computer to pull up a bookmarks. Or keeping the websites listed in a journal that I tote around with me everyday, everywhere. Also, sharing and connecting with groups is a cool feature. No more randomly Goggling for websites. Instead I can find some less popular resources that might think outside of the box...
- I'm not sure I would use this in a class except maybe to have students chronicle their web search process that is involved in an I-Search paper. That might work... In an upper-level English course. Otherwise, perhaps my information and/or thinking is 'stuck in the box' but I'd like to see/read/hear some innovative ideas for utilizing this in a classroom setting.

@Vanessa - There are quite a few uses for diigo in the classroom. I use it for my students to collect websites for research and then share the listing with the students under one neat url address. Another way an English teacher uses diigo is with the highlight tool as well as the sticky note function. The reading becomes interactive and the students are able to make notes right on the page they are working on. Here are a few sites I found with some tips!
