My experience first using Diigo was good, although it took a bit of playing around with the website. I liked how you could highlight URL's and webpages. I also liked how you could import notes. I didn't like the ads, but when things are free I understand their necessity.
I have liked blogging, although it's hard to blog in a colorful way within the academic setting. It is nice to feel you have your own space however. It is a lot like social media, but more lengthy, which I like, and I especially like the sense of privacy mixed with a public forum, as I highly doubt my blog has much traffic at all. I can definitely see the benefit of being able to manipulate a website for someone that really wants to get into blogging.
My favorite Web 2.0 tool so far is Skype. I like it primarily because I am most familiar with it and using it brings back fond old memories. Within the classroom I can see its value for broadening the classroom for students who can't always be there, or to bring a guest to class without having to physically have them come give a talk to the class. I think the applications for Skype in the classroom are exponential and will help make school more effective and enriched.
