I’ve been loving Diigo since I ditched Delicious a few months ago. They are constantly adding awesome features and today I stumbled on the groups feature. Basically it allows you to create a group of like-minded users (it can be public or private) to share links, comments and it has a forum baked right in.
This is HUGE… It allows you to create micro communities and adds much greater value to “social” bookmarking. You can be a part of multiple groups – which are often topical in nature. There are all kinds of different options that allow you to discuss bookmarks in comment threads and in a forum. There are RSS feeds for each group – so you don’t even have to join one to get some benefit. And there’s a great “slideshow” feature that will allow you to quickly lopp through the bookmarked sites.
If you are a Diigo user (you *have* to be if you do Social Bookmarking) – check out the group I made today – Web Strategy. If you are interested in Web Strategy, Social Media, Internet Marketnig, etc… you are advised to join the group to share great articles and get in on the Web Strategy discussions.
If you aren’t a Diigo user… join today. Then, join our group.

Thanks Andy for your kind support of Diigo!
Indeed, Diigo groups is a great Collaborative Research Platform. Don’t forget to explore many group features, such as group badge, linkrolls / tagrolls, group auto-post, plus the group tag dictionary that helps enforce tagging consistency within a group!
There are always more room for further improvements – should you have suggestions, please share them in our User Forums! We’re always listening and working hard to make Diigo better and better.
cheers,

Ok I signed up. I wanted to switch to ‘aaronwebb’ on delicious which was taken anyway so this works!
@Aaron – there is also a great import feature from Delicious -> Diigo … Makes the switch that much easier :)
I personally use Diigo for some time and run and participate in a few groups. Also, we use Diigo groups for the bookmarking for http://TheSocialGeeks.com poscast to quickly build a linkroll from tags. Works great
