It does have a private sharing option and shows the sites within the binders. I would love to hear your thoughts on it. http://www.livebinders.com Thanks! Mariam and Larry,

I really like the highlighting tool - one student can read, highlight relevant sentences or ideas, bookmark and share to our group. These highlights then show-up as text when looking at the bookmark in Diigo. Once everyone has done this, we have a whole list of annotations that can be used to complete a specific task. Am keen to investigate many of your other options though! I like to use Diigo.com in my EAL class.

In fact, that's probably true for most of them. People could only add to it, though, if they had a password. Larry Miriam,

Tizmos isn’t “private”, but the only people would see it is if they knew your exact url. In fact, that’s probably true for most of them. People could only add to it, though, if they had a password.

I didn't see that particular combination in your descriptions. Can you recommend one? thanks - Miriam Larry:

I think most of these try to do toooo much. For example, however flashy web2wave is, it is just too visually distractive and takes time to load...too dark also. Doing toooo much! Have you seen our buzka at EFL Classroom 2.0 http://eflclassroom.buzka.com I like this application from Perth Australia! Young, smart developers with a collaborative notion . You can share a buzka button in your browse - click and bookmark to a shared page. Also photo sharing and community. Just another option! David Larry,
