Diigo and Social Bookmarking

Diigo can offer a more convenient way to bookmark pages that you use frequently or want to easily refer to at a later time.  The use of Diigo is simple and convenient.

I'm not too familiar with social media; however, the thread I see between FaceBook and social bookmarking is how a person can get a picture of someone's preferences, likes and dislikes.  Through FB, a person must 'like' a page for it to be recognized and seen by the 'friends' on the account.

Via Diigo, someone can get more detailed glimpse of personal and workplace preferences with the pages that are bookmarked and categorized.

Web 2.0 allows for connection and engagement of all members seeing the Diigo pages.  For educational or classroom purposes, teachers can have an interactive 'discussion' while students are actively reading---making reading more fun and more relevant to real life for students.

One no longer needs to use a flash drive to store important web pages or cut and paste parts of pages and save to a Word document.  Diigo would also allow me to keep parents informed about current articles and information related to current educational research.
