Description: Diigo is a social bookmarking application that has been called del.icio.us on steroids. It has all the features of a social bookmark application (bookmarking, tags for organization and sharing) with much more. You can add "lists" which is Diigo for bookmark folders. From these lists you can create webslides so you can do a presentation directly from Diigo with easy navigation. If you load the Diigo toolbar you can not only create a new bookmark with one easy click but you can also highlight sections and add comments to pages. This a feature not found in other social bookmarking applications.
