I have never used a service like Diigo before, so this is uncharted territory. I do like the idea of being able to tag/save/store files for later review. I often come across interesting websites and it can be a challenge to figure out how to index and organize them. My usual approach has been to save sites in an intricate nested hierarchy of bookmarks. One challenge with that approach is that I had a completely different set of bookmarks one my home computer than at school - until I started using Chrome, which allows users to synch bookmarks across any computer they are using.
I saved a few sites to Diigo. These are totally unrelated to teaching - they are travel sites, with an eye towards some future vacations!
I am not sure how much I would use Diigo. I don't see it as a useful teaching took, except for organizing research on a particular topic. I would not, for example, share my list of interesting sites with my students. Much easier to do that by putting links to useful sites in an html file and uploading it to my school website.
