Editor's Notes
This is a quote from the article that gives a nut graph on what social bookmarking is. The article also gives a history of social bookmarking. It began ten years ago with the site delicious.
The article has charts and bullets to lay out clearly the features of the site. One chart compares Diigo to Delicious. Diigo wins out for usefullness because there is the ability to annotate text.
Many of these features are perfect for online collaboration with students on a research project. They are also wonderful features for the individual researcher which allows for a thorough documentation of the research process.
I plan on using Diigo in the future. I will also refer to this article as it provides the features as well as useful tutorials with graphics that show you how to go about navigating the site.
