# Has anyone tried Diigo?

Has anyone heard of or used Diigo? [http://www.diigo.com/](http://www.diigo.com/) It claims to be a “Web Highlighter and Sticky Notes, Online Bookmarking and Annotation, Personal Learning Network.” And they have special [Educator Accounts](http://www.diigo.com/education)

I ran across it in this Educause Quarterly article [Engaging Students with Engaging Tools](http://www.educause.edu/EDUCAUSE+Quarterly/EDUCAUSEQuarterlyMagazineVolum/EngagingStudentswithEngagingTo/192954) by Ed Webb. It’s mentioned several times and the idea of being able to highlight text within articles you bookmark for a group sounds very interesting. I haven’t tried it yet, though a Google search on “diigo education” found some interesting articles.

Jan. 6, 2011 – With the announcement that Yahoo would be dropping Delicious, I went looking for alternatives and am now trying Diigo. I like that it imports from Delicious, and you can keep them in synch, and the annotation feature. – Mike Franks
