Thing 6: The diigo ate my baby!

Hee, hee, hee.

Liking diigo. Pretty easy to use so far. I have only saved 8 websites thus far and minimally tagged them, despite advice from both Jessica and Caroline. I think the reason for that is because I am not using it in a very authentic manner right now. I should be asleep, but I can't deny the compulsion to work on my 23 things. So, I'm wracking my brains for websites that I use frequently just so I can try my hand at tagging and saving them. I think my tagging will improve once I actually come across a new website that I need and want to use.

Diigo can be extremely beneficial for the students if they were working on an online research project. I could save websites to my diigo and they could access them more easily. I just wonder if I can make the diigo info public for those who are not members, say students, for example?

I'm also jazzed about the friending aspect. Much the same way that I snoop around facebook to see what everyone's up to, I think I will be checking into my diigo friends' websites. I mean, I was never a fan of the Decemberists, but as soon as two of my facebook friends hailed their new album, I'm on the bandwagon to give it a try. I'm sure, or at least hoping, that my experience on diigo will be similar.

Here is the link to my bookmarked websites: http://www.diigo.com/user/spatisaul
