Using Zotero makes the act of constructing a bibliography more simple. The user barely has to think. If he or she finds an article on a site that is supported by Zotero, all they have to do is click a button and, boom, it's done. There are other sites where the user has to enter the critical information for the bibliography, click a button, and it will make a bibliography in correct MLA style. Now, Zotero gathers that information, and makes a perfect bibliography that can be exported to a word processor and printed out. It allows the user to write notes about the article which can also be exported. Sometimes, there are even ready-made summaries of the article. I have no idea who writes them but they are also helpful. The only drawback to Zotero is that unless the user exports the information to the computer, it does not get saved.

Diigo is good if you want to save websites of interest, and then access them from any computer. It does not provide the automatic bibliography of Zotero, but the user could simply save his bookmarks, return to the sites, hit the Zotero button and the problem is quickly solved. Diigo also features a highlighting tool that allows the user to select text from the site and write comments. If the user is logged in to Diigo and returns to the site, the highlights and comments remain. It it also somewhat useful if you want to find websites related to a certain topic that you are interested in. However, finding academic type articles or journal entires in a person's bookmarks is rare.
