Diigo <- check it out!
Ahhh sweet sweet Diigo. Diigo is a Chrome extension that's a popular annotation tool. I've been using Diigo on and off for a couple of years. Frankly... I don't like it. I'm told I should like it. Some of my smart Yale friends tell me that I should like it. In all fairness, I have tried it for 2 years now.... I kind of equate Diigo to using roller skates.
I own a lot of forms of transportation... I have both rollerskates and rollerblades. While they are both very similar, they both have 4 wheels, they both fit my feet nicely and snug up past my ankles... They fundamentally differ. For diigo- while I can work collaborative by sharing bookmarks, I can just as easily make a shareable Google Doc. For making annotations, I habitually use my Surface tablet with it's awesome pen. I know it has some additional features, I just never found a use for them.
