I'll take Diigo Please

After learning about these two social bookmarking sites, it seems to me that they would both be great resources for storing and sharing favorite websites online. However, out of pure convenience for myself, I would chose to work with Diigo over Del.icio.us, the main reason being that Del.icio.us doesn't comply with the Google e-mailing accounts. I didn't want to create yet another e-mailing account just so that I could use Del.icio.us.

Diigo also seems to have more features that would be very helpful with research. Some of the tools that can be utilized on Diigo include highlighting, sticky notes, listing, and tagging. I think that highlighting could be very beneficial when working on a research paper. With this handy tool, you can (1) highlight text that you want to quote or refer to in your research project, and (2) be able to find it easily without wasting time scanning the page for it all over again.

Make lists and tagging items on websites is also great when you start sharing information with other people (i.e. your students, school administration, teachers, and fellow librarians). And it gets even better: if you want to share information or links with a person who cannot access Diigo, there is no problem. You can send them the link anyway.

Diigo also makes it easy to collaborate with other people, as well as create lists and tags that are accessible to everyone. This could be a great way to get students involved with the library by helping them set up their own collaborative list of links for a specific class or research project.

The only thing with Diigo that I couldn't figure out was if it is fee-based. I assume it probably isn't, but you never know...
