Maybe the Diigo Ate Your Baby??

For the past few years, I have thought about how great it would be if we could toilet paper someone’s Myspace. I never thought I'd see the day until God invented Diigo. Since toilet papering a house could be seen by all the neighbors or anyone who drives down the street, it would be nice if ANYONE visiting a person’s page could witness the Diigo activity. Unfortunately, Diigo is highly exclusive like most academic collaborative web-tools we encounter. Just imagine the possibilities, Oh what beautiful chaos we could create...

On the real, clean cut web pages would be messy and unorganized if this Diigo power came into the wrong hands. Right now, we pretend to be both academic and professional and we use Diigo while exercising our refined techno etiquette. It has potential, though I'm not sure the application has the tenacity it needs for us to harness the potential in the classroom. Mainly because Diigo crashes our operating systems if we look at it funny. Something tells me Diigo should work on toilet papering the hard to reach spots like the top of the trees that way it could really be a nuisance and at least last a little longer.
