Diigo

Diigo provides an easy way of sharing relevant web content with friends, colleagues and collaborators. Once signed up, you can highlight a passage of interest within a webpage and even add a sticky note with comments. You're able to then bookmark the page so you can return and read more later or share it with others via, for example, email or blog. It seems like a very useful tool for collaborators to use to communicate between meetings. It presents a way of bringing information together in a way that isn't onerous and doesn't require reinterpretation of the content for it to be shared. By creating a group, when a member finds something of interest it can easily be distributed to other group members. Groups can be made public or private allowing you to control who you are communicating with. It makes it easier to pool resources, recommend reading to others and reduce the need for duplication of searches.
