Diigo is a powerful research tool and a knowledge sharing community.  You can highlight paragraphs or things from any website and bookmark it and save it for later.  You can organize, share, and display your own bookmarks.  The websites button can let you play your list like a slide show.  You can also see others comments or annotations rather than just your own on any site.

It helps you connect with people and stay engaged with any fellow friends, colleagues or peers.  You and friends can collaborate on new findings or share bookmarks to engage in interesting conversations.  You can connect to a site with others on interesting things you are interested in like the NY Times.  The act of reading becomes fun and connects you with the world.
