    Nope, that option does not appear for me: I posted the link, then you seem to have deleted and then reposted it and "taken possession" of it. Looks to me like only the poster can edit tags?

    Is there a way to link the discussions and the bookmarks - or are they separate?

    Sorry - that does not make sense to me??

    What I meant was - if we are to discuss the definition of game addiction, I want to collect all the bookmarks that are relevant to that topic adjacent to the posts of the discussion about it. Sorry if my question does not make sense.

    Two possible approaches: game addiction is/is not a real problem (dichotomous); or: game addiction exists on a scale from barely noticeable to debilitating. The article by Taylor and Francis below discusses a scale (7x3 indicators).

    Hi, I am Jørn Hoelstad Pettersen. I have been teaching English, History and Social Studies in various Norwegian high schools for the past 26 years (as well as one year in a Fulbright exchange program in the US). Currently I am teaching at a high school in Drøbak, which is located half-an-hour drive from Oslo. Along with four other teachers I also have a part-time position as "digital innovator" for the county. We serve all the 34 high schools in the county, giving workshops and courses on the pedagogical use of ICT.

    I have been using Diigo to collect and organize information but I am interested in working with you to explore more advanced features of this tool.

    Should we discuss the definition of game addiction before moving on to the discussion of causes?
