Although it pains me to say it, I think there is something better than Delicious out there. I first came across Diigo in the summer and have been playing with it on and off ever since. Social bookmarking has been an absolute godsend to education and Delicious was at the forefront of that - but, in my view, it’s been surpassed.
I had high hopes of the latest version when it was released at the end of July, but, to be honest, they just focused on the instructional design and look-and-feel rather than functionality. You still can’t create groups or lists, or send messages to the people in your network, and you can’t annotate either. All of which can be accomplished in Diigo and more

We sent a private message to some of our users two days ago. We were experimenting with a new messaging channel and an unexpected technical glitch happened that caused sending duplicate emails to some.
We're so terribly sorry! We absolutely have no intention to spam our users. For those who have received duplicate emails from us, please accept our MOST sincere apology!
Please give us another chance? We'll work even harder to make it up :-)

Need your help - vote for Diigo - 33 views

Mashable Open Web Awards just opens up its first round of voting, and Diigo is a semi-finalist in the social bookmarking category. Now we need your vote to make it to the Final Round!
Diigo is often compared with other social bookmarking sites. We feel this is not quite doing it justice. As both a research tool and a knowledge-sharing community, Diigo is substantially more powerful as it is carefully designed to address these needs: how to discover, process, manage, and share online information more productively and effectively. While Diigo is not the "biggest" yet, it certainly is the "BEST" among its class, and continues to get better and better as we are barely scratching the surface of what can be done here!
To cast your vote, simply submit your email address in the widget and confirm your vote by clicking on the link in your email.
Now here is a "twist": user can vote once a day. You say, What! Once a day! I know, I know .... but it's their game and their rules. Besides this embedded widget, we have also put up a widget in your Dashboard area to make it easier.
If you are a Diigo fan, please do help us and spread the words - we'd really love to let as many people know about Diigo. We hope to see our "hockey stick" growth very soon, so everyone can benefit even more from the collective wisdom of our knowledge community!
One vote per day, if you can! Thanks so very much for taking the trouble to show your kind support! While others are cutting back or calling it quit during this downturn, our team is quite committed to continue pushing forward with new innovations and aiming to be the best in its class and beyond. Stay tuned, as Diigo continues to evolve and blossom!
With appreciation,
~ The Diigo team

Marsh,
Sorry to hear such a "dilemma" - I sympathize!
But sorry to disappoint, username cannot be changed easily at the moment. We did put up a warning for users to choose their username very carefully as it cannot be changed easily (very tricky backend operation - will impact many databases and can easily messed things up.)
While we might consider adding such a feature eventually (not for a while given our long to-do list), not sure how extensively you have already worked with your students at this point. You might consider checking out the new educator account - www.diigo.com/education which allows you to create student accounts easily. You may wish to start off with a new account and start over again?
By the way, is this k12 or higher ed course that you're teaching? -
Marsh,
Joel just mentioned that we may be able to release a feature to allow users to change username soon (probably one or two weeks.) Stay tuned for further update.

Diigo groups are ideal for team research If you have any need for team-based research, Diigo groups are ideal for you. A Diigo group can be public, private or semi-private. Pool and organize resources using group bookmarks When a member of a Diigo group comes across a web page, he can highlight, tag, and share it to the group. In this way, group bookmarks become a repository of collective research. Group members can also vote up bookmarks so important information stays on the top. Group sticky notes are great for discussion When adding sticky notes, you can make them private, public, or viewable only by members of a certain group. With group sticky notes, group members can interact and discuss important points right on the web page, preserving the original context. Group tag dictionary to enforce tagging consistency The group administrator can define a set of recommended tags for the group to help enforce tagging consistency. Diigo has recently launched an education version, where you can create class accounts and add privacy settings, so I recommend you have a look at this. Oh, and for those of you who can’t quite leave Delicious behind just yet, you can synch the two so that whatever you save in Diigo gets automatically put into your Delicious account as well.

Thanks to Mansel Wells's suggestion, I'd like to open up a new discussion on "Creative Uses for Diigo"
If you have something that you'd like to share with us and the community - It can be as simple as a favorite Diigo feature that you like and why, to how you use diigo in general or a specific use scenario, an interesting list that you have built and you'd like us to showcase it, an active group that you'd like to profile, etc...
As long as it's not spam / commercially motivated, don't be shy - we'd love to hear from you! Let's keep this thread active - so we can all share and learn from each other! -
As a group owner, long ago I've set a policy that all sharing / discussions in this particular group should be Diigo-related. This policy is set to deter potential spam, and to make it easier for users who wish to find Diigo-related reviews, help, tips, input, etc.
I'd like to continue enforcing this policy to make it easier to maintain the group. Should there be other interests, one is most welcome to form another interest group / discussions. Sounds good ? :-)

Living in the Clouds - Diigo | CloudAve - 0 views

In my early days of Living in the Clouds, I was using Delicious as my cloud based bookmarking tool. It was my favorite Web 2.0 era tool. I loved it so much that I refused to look at any other social bookmarking apps. When I started blogging here at Cloud Avenue, Zoli recommended us to use another bookmarking site called Diigo for our research purposes. I agreed to use this app very reluctantly and I never looked back since then. Diigo is not just a social bookmarking site but it is also a very good research tool including options to highlight, annotate, comment, share, etc.. This tool has changed the way I do research on the web with its powerful set of features. In fact, I have stopped using Delicious completely. This is much more powerful than Delicious in my quest to organize my information in the clouds.
-
Pros: Highlight and Annotation. This is a powerful feature for anyone who is using Diigo for research purposes. The best part of this is the finer privacy control for annotation. One can keep it private or share with a group or make it public. Ability to create groups to share with others interested in a particular area or lists to organize information better for yourself. Ability to send to friends who are not members of Diigo through email. Ability to expand/collapse highlights and annotations in your Diigo bookmarks page. Powerful toolbar Ability to extract all the annotation in a particular page. Comes handy while researching on any topic. Here, the network effects can make this feature more powerful.
-
Cons: Lack of browser button that could hide/unhide the Diigo toolbar similar to Stumbleupon toolbar. This will come handy for those with smaller monitors/netbooks to use the space occupied by the toolbar to see the webpage.
-
We know how precious everyone's desktop space is, so we have made Diigo toolbar fully customizable. Check out the details here http://blog.diigo.com/2008/03/27/tip-of-the-day-how-to-customize-diigo-toolbar/

What it is: Education Diigo offers k-12 and higher ed educators premium Diigo accounts! The premium accounts provide the ability to create student accounts for whole classes, students of the same class are automatically set up as a Diigo group so they can easily share bookmarks, annotations, and group forums, privacy settings so that only classmates and teachers can communicate with students, and any advertisments on Education Diigo are education related. If you aren’t familiar with Diigo, it is a social bookmarking website where students can collaborate on the web. Diigo works in to a project based learning environment nicely and allows for exploratory learning and collaboration.

Education Diigo is an outstanding place for students to solve problems together. Provide students with a problem and send them on a web scavenger hunt to find the answer, students can post their findings and notes about their findings on Diigo. Students can collaborate online to solve the problem. Education Diigo is also a great place for “teachers to highlight critical information within text and images and write comments directly on the web pages, to collect and organize series of web pages and web sites into coherent and thematic sets, and to facilitate online conversations within the context of the materials themselves.” This feature makes Education Diigo a great place to create webquest type lessons and virtual field trips around the web. Diigo also allows teachers to collaborate and share resources among themselve. Education Diigo is a must for students who are learning to complete web-based research!

Diigo Groups is Future of Social Bookmarking | Get A New Browser - 0 views
-
I’ve been loving Diigo since I ditched Delicious a few months ago. They are constantly adding awesome features and today I stumbled on the groups feature. Basically it allows you to create a group of like-minded users (it can be public or private) to share links, comments and it has a forum baked right in.
-
This is HUGE… It allows you to create micro communities and adds much greater value to “social” bookmarking. You can be a part of multiple groups - which are often topical in nature. There are all kinds of different options that allow you to discuss bookmarks in comment threads and in a forum. There are RSS feeds for each group - so you don’t even have to join one to get some benefit. And there’s a great “slideshow” feature that will allow you to quickly lopp through the bookmarked sites.
