- Bookmarking with Diigo:
- Diigo is a social bookmarking site. You can bookmark things in Diigo and make annotations on a sticky note regarding what you like or how you use the site. You can then access the bookmarks (and your sticky note) from any internet accessible location. Good idea Sam. Diigo Physics group.
