Diigo is a social bookmarking tool where you can annotate sites/articles with sticky notes and highlighters, organize bookmarks, and not have to worry about broken links as webpages are archived. There is also a MVCR Tech Tools group (https://groups.diigo.com/group/mvcr-tech-tools).

Being in a program like the Master Online Teacher, exposes you to so many resources, that some kind of system for organizing links is a must. Though I'm not sure that Diigo is the one for me. If you were collaborating on research, it seems like a great way to be able to share resources with one another as you were working, but for working alone I don't know that I'll be pursuing this site.
Update (11/5/13): Ok, so after some more use, I'm coming around on the benefits of Diigo. I have been one that frequently prints off articles to read to be able to highlight and reference later (especially for classes). With diigo, there is a highlighter tool that can be used and the highlighted sections are then shown in your diigo library. This makes a quick and easy way to reference quotes, without even needing to pull up the whole article. When watching videos, you can take notes in a "sticky note" that shows up in your library in the same way.
