Today I discovered Diigo.
I am totally amazed by what it will do, quite apart from sticky notes, you can share your notes with others, you can highlight webpages, add bookmarks, add your own annotations. I am amazed at what it will do.
Within education there are many potential applications for a software like this. Rather than one person giving a blog, or even a group blogging or contributing to a wiki, here we have a way for several people to review a publication and add their own comments to it. They can annotate their understanding, they can comment to each other, they can contribute to groups such that they will all see each others contributions.
I think this is highly versatile for teaching and learning

I have one of those navel gazing blogs that I write for distant family and friends who have time on their hands to read long postings ;-)
Glad you are excited about Diigo - there are other applications that are similar though I gather that the Diigo developers are very responsive to users hence my support for it.
I agree with your enthusiasm about Diigo-this course has forced me to revisit it, as I was sent an 'invitation' some weeks ago to join a group in Diigo (from learning technologist work colleagues!) and had never really got into it then. I definitely will now.
My concern is in convincing the teaching staff! Do you have an uphill struggle with e-learning at your institution? most of my staff don't even know what a learning technologist does or is!
Big thumbs up for diigo from me !
