Collaboration

Hi John, I use Diigo as a kind of information-management tool, and I see it's great novelty in keeping the connection between the information and its source. It's indeed the only tool available that lets me interact with the source itself - highlight text, add my notes on specific highlights, comment on the whole page, tag it for later, and share it with others. I also like it's search and viewing capabilities. About the social aspect - I notice that some people, while not great writers themselves, are very good in picking out the highlights from any given text and tagging it. You can easily notice that at delicious, digg and clipmarks. On a wider perspective, imagine that top thinkers, scientists and other inspirational people start to use Diigo, and share some of their I know I for one would like to follow what Noam Chomski and Kevin Kelly are reading and finding worthy.
