Tips on starting in Diigo
Thank you Lisa for organizing and setting this up. And thanks for everyone's time to learn about Diigo.
Few recommendations for a step-by-step exploration of diigo (not all at once, but at your own leisure pace):
1) First. check out the intro video on the homepage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RvAkTuL02A
Start using Diigo with the very basic functionalities first -- bookmark and highlight. You may even consider using diigolet first before trying the toolbar.
Advantage of the diigolet is that it can be just simple drag and drop, no installation needed, and it's compatible with all browsers. Once you're familiar with these basic functions, then you can try the Diigo toolbar which is a lot more powerful and fully customizable.

7) Send / Share - Diigo offers various ways to share info. It's not necessary to invite friends into diigo to start sharing. You can start by forwarding your discovery to others via email first. So use Send >> Email or you can also share info to a group of friends in Diigo directly.

Diigo is full of subtle yet very powerful functions throughout. I can also share many other advanced tips later. But those are good step-by-step to gradually get your feet wet with diigo first.
