Social annotation comes handy in online research

The “proverbial” quest for “needle in the haystack” finds application in social bookmarking, Rebecca seems to imply on wildapricot.com.

Without leaving out the benefits of social bookmarking, Rebecca wonders whether “the usual social bookmarking services really are the best possible tool for organizing that flood of online information, [when it] comes to online research and collaboration?”

“Diigo.com takes social bookmarking to a new level of usefulness,” Rebecca writes. “It’s all about social annotation. Highlight text or leave a note, right on the web page itself.”
