    Internet Nazi :-) here.

    I just opened up Diigo in our content filter because it's more of what we're looking for ... ie, it's
    building features to sandbox the kids while give them the benefits of social bookmarking.

    From my perspective ... it looks like Diigo is definitely headed in the right direction. Too many developers don't realize what constraints CIPA and other doctrines place on the K-12 users. There are "paid" solutions out there, but those are unacceptable because:
    a) They lock out the "rest" of the world
    b) money (or lack of)

    Keep up the good work. As I explore this more, I'll have some specific suggestions regarding how to
    make things even more content filter friendly.
