Diigo is a rather complicated, but useful site for social bookmarking of other websites. I prefer using iGoogle to keep my bookmarks available from any computer I use. However, they are not open to public sharing. For that purpose, Diigo is superior.
Moodle is a alternative option for students if they wish to keep a wiki/sharing page open. From a class moodle page, links can be added & comments can be stored about the web pages.
If a teacher wants yet more control, then his/her school website could also contain a page of links, and that would give the teacher tighter control of which website links were added to a class list. This option would require a lot more input by the teacher though.
I think that as long as Diigo were closely monitored by the teacher, it would be a very useful site during research work in the classroom.
