I really like the idea of sharing quality resources with others. I can also imagine that viewing not only the discoveries, but the comments and questions of others, will support my students' critical thinking skills.

Yes, I do. I am a novice here. Heretofore I have not gone beyond Google and Wiki.. I look forward to learning from the resources other educations will provide and adding resources from the sources that I have gathered from my research. This will help me and my students. I am ready to work.

I am really intrigued but the annotation and sticky notes features offered by Diigo. The ability Diigo gives the user to not only save and suggest sites, but also add layers of additional information onto those sites seems extremely useful from a professional development angle. The question I have is if I store a site with annotations or stickies, does anyone else who follows my links get to see my added notes? Or is that personal only to my Diigo view?

Hi Steve, I like this feature too and that's a great question. Basically there are three levels of sharing with sticky notes, PRIVATE (default), PUBLIC, or GROUP. Here is Diigo's explanation: Private sticky notes are viewable by the author and any forwarded recipients. Public sticky notes can be seen on the page by all Diigo members with the Diigo toolbar or Diigolet installed, and its viewing mode set to "All". The highlights associated with public sticky notes also become PUBLIC, i.e., viewable to all Diigo members. Public highlights and sticky notes should be done with care. To minimize graffiti and spam, we have raised the bar for making public highlights and sticky notes.

I could see the note and I added my own comment. I really like the concept of Diigo, so it will be interesting to use it for the assignment. If I had any frustration with Diigo, it's as a MAC user it is not Safari friendly. With that said, it works fine on MAC with Firefox.
