In any case, I am using diigo for free, so I cannot blame diigo team for their design choices... Thank to diigo people for letting me try a new way to review a web page!

I had problems getting my techs to allow diigo because of it. But what about the diigolet? You get most of the functionality, but only when/where you need it. If you don't activate it, it doesn't communicate wiu diigo. I totally understand and agree that the potential data mining is a huge turn off.

Functionality is appropriated but usability could be better (for this goal): for example cant understand how to assign "comments" to a group with contextual menu / popups, without visiting the diigo.com pages... But I am more concerned with the underlying "spyware": to work, diigo client software MUST send to diigo.com ALL URLS you navigate, in order to resolve them and match possible diigo community annotations. What is very bad is that even if you "log off" from diigo, diigo client continues to communicate your navigation behavior with diigo.com. Hope that diigo team will release an explicit "private" mode, simply allowing the user to toggle diigo on/off from the diigo toolbar, and possibly to let the user define an URL whitelist , on which diigo is allowed to act . Now the workaround to this is to toggle on/off the firefox add-on. For me, and for my company, this is a big security issue, probably compelling out team to ban this software.

Glad to hear more and more educators have discovered Diigo, and you will be sharing it in your classroom to make better use of Internet in education! Rest assured: there is absolutely no spyware or spamware in Diigo. Thought you and your colleagues may be interested to know: Diigo is founded by Dr. Ren (formerly a UC Berkeley EECS professor) and it arose out of personal needs to read and digest large amount of info online and the need to share thoughts and interact on those information. Given his previous academic background, we're quite interested to see Diigo making meaningful contributions to education. I'm forming a private group among educators to learn more about your needs and bounce off ideas. Love to connect and chat. Cheers, Maggie Tsai Diigo Hi Shane,

I'm looking forward to hearing how things go as the fall semester gets rolling.

The private/public feature definitely helps address security concerns in the classroom as well. I think this could become a tool used daily to organize a wealth of information. And I am definitely a fan of the 3 Ws - whatever, whenever, wherever! It seems our kids feel the need to be connected all the time, so why not bring schoolwork into their "world" and at their "level" too?! I'll definitely be looking more into this.
