Maybe the Dingo Ate your baby?

That was such a weird line from Elaine on Seinfield. One of those phrases that stick in your head and you have to catch yourself from blurting out in inappropriate social contexts. Or not.

Continuing the theme of posts about useful tools ---for those writing and researching on the internet, I've been playing with this puppy recently:

http://www.diigo.com

And it's pretty impressive.

• You can put "sticky" notes on any web page (that just you, or others you want to share with, can see)
• You can highlight important parts of a page, the highlighted text is saved in your bookmarks on diigo which you can tag, search, etc.
• You can search across all your bookmarks, tags, etc.
  
• Stuff is saved when you bookmark, so if the page goes away, you still have the information
• You can "publish" any of your tags to blogs as a feeds or post directly as an article.
  

All this can be private, just for you as a research tool, but it's also cool that you can collaborate with a group of friends and share research. This looks like a pretty powerful tool for organizing all those little snippets of information you come across while browsing for various interests, projects, lens, or just file to read later in a way much more powerful, flexible and organized than the simple brain-dead bookmark feature of a browser.

Plus, you don't lose it all if your computer crashes or you upgrade. I've been using del.icio.us for this in the past, but after playing a bit today I think I've found a worthy successor.
