I have begun adding group annotations to this blog post. Here is the group page for those who might want to join our Diigo group and comment along with us: https://groups.diigo.com/group/ccourses

I think annotating this way is superior to commenting. I suppose it is commenting, but carefully targeted to responding to a specific sentence or as fine-grained as the choice of a word. Downside? While it is a public group it does call for an investment in learning how to annotate with Diigo. My experience is that that investment pays back royally. Positive and negative? It is messy, especially when you get tons of annotstors in the group.

I love the annotated link tool that allows you to send a cached link to anyone to view even if they are not a Diigo user: https://diigo.com/04j3l2. I love how you can scrape all the comments and highlights out and then repurpose them. It would be so much fun to try a project where each of us would do group annotations, turn them into a blog post and then create a zine or storify or use WP Anthologize to create an epub with all the posts and then commentary at the end.

Ok, sorry Maha. This has become some sort of recursive monster of a comment about comments within a comment. With no real comments about what you wrote in your comments box. Technically, I think this might be a Klein bottle or s moebius comment.
