That is awesome, Jane! I was just looking up how to pronounce diigo, thinking I didn’t want to sound behind-the-times or just plain ignorant in a job interview (!) and I found out diigo has educator accounts, too.

Chris, don’t worry about those twitter DMs… an awful lot of people stop using twitter after a few weeks/months! (I have two accounts I have pretty much abandoned at this point)

Awesome Jane! Thanks for helping clarify that. Do you happen to have a link to where you located that information?

I just looked that one up on the Web. Here is what I found:

Diigo is an acronym for Digest of Internet Information Groups and Other Stuff.

Diigo is pronounced “dee go”

Diigo was developed by Dr. Ren at UC Berkeley to help digest and organize and annotate the vast amounts of data on the web.

I had heard rumblings about it, but didn’t have a good reason to use it until now. I think I should also set up a group for the teachers at school.

I believe it’s pronounced “Dee-Go”. Or at least that’s how I pronounce it ;^). Add me as a friend on Diigo http://www.diigo.com/profile/chrisbell.

Nice, thanks Chris. I didn’t even realize Diigo had those tools available, and I use Diigo all the time. Your next task, should you choose to accept it, is–how do you pronounce Diigo?
