I'm way overdue on blogging my experiences with annotation (diigo,
CommentPress, Digress.it) in courses. I have to say that I used Diigo
a bit and ended up not liking it for courses particularly because of
performance issues: enough annotations on a page and it became
effectively unload-able. I don't know if this was solely due to a
bottleneck with the annotation server, but I suspect it was.

Diigo also had other issues--strangely moving annotations and
bugginess of the interface. They may have improved significantly since
I used it, but since a lot of these didn't rear their heads until
under the load of a class full of people using it, I haven't risked
trying it again.

I'll be looking closely at Annotator, particularly in possible
combination with a Drupal course site.

Best,

Alex
