I have examined other Web 2.0 programs over the past few months and have tried to familiarize myself with as many of them as possible. However, I've only used a small number of them as extensively as I've used Diigo for this assignment. Compared to my past experiences, I really like Diigo. This may be because I'm limited in what I'm comparing it to... or it may simply be because I find it useful. Collaborative projects can be a real pain. Diigo just makes it easier to collaborate.

I would agree with other comments that people should be able to edit sticky notes - and the notes should be fixed in place. I would also agree that more could be done to organize and structure an individual's library or a group's library. Perhaps these are features that should be better streamlined. But, is there another tool that currently does this better. One that I just haven't interacted with, yet? (I ask this seriously, not sarcastically.)

I'm a big fan of resources that actually save time and make life easier. Some Web 2.0 resources are fun and entertaining, but more hassle than they're worth. It seems like some of us feel this way about Diigo. I, on the other hand, found Diigo fairly easy to use and very much worth the effort. I loved the Diigolet and the highlighting feature. I would definitely recommend using this for future endeavors.

Hi everyone,

I really like Diigo, so far. Many social media sites are useful in that they connect us with other people, but they don't necessarily streamline our lives. I'm thinking of Facebook, LibraryThing, GoodReads or SecondLife. These programs aid us in sharing information and developing relationships with others, but they still require extra time and effort to really maximize their benefits. Diigo, on the other hand, was simple to use and required very little effort on my part. (With Paul's post in mind, I realize that not everyone had an easy experience with Diigo, though.) The Diigo applet - "Diggolet" - downloaded easily and was fairly intuitive to use. I set my account to send me automatic email updates every time someone else posted something, so I have been "in the loop" since signing up and joining our group without having to even log on to Diigo. The way I see it is if I'm already going to be online, sifting through websites, then all I have to do is bookmark it and share it with the group - and then whoever else is in my group gets an automatic update. Easy as that. I don't have to email a link or copy and past it to another site. I don't have to log on to Diigo and update my account that way. If someone else has access to my account and is set to receive updates on that account, then they will automatically see when I add a new piece of information. And neither of us even had to be on Diigo to make that happen. I love it.

On the down side, I don't like that I can't edit my sticky notes. I'd rather not have to re-type something every time I see a mistake. I've read others' cons, too, and I can see that Diigo is certainly not perfect. However, I would still recommend it for future use.
