 * Diigo** is an online bookmarker, a web highlighter with sticky notes, and a collaboration tool. I've just joined Diigo so I will be learning about it with you. Here are a couple of screen shots. The first one is from "My Library" page. The second is how Diigo can also give me a screenshot of a site I've saved.
