Public Sticky notes

At BLC07 I had the pleasure of being introduced to a Web 2.0 website called Diigo.  While this site was presented as a bookmarking site, I was wondering if this site could be used in a different way in the classroom.  At Diigo you are allowed to highlight and attach sticky notes.  How cool would it be in a one-to-one situation, that instead of a teacher putting notes up on a screen for students to copy or where the teacher is lecturing and students notetake, that the teacher puts his/her notes in a blog format.  The students would then go to the blog… highlight the important material and make personal notes about the information from the teachers presentation (click thumbnail above to see example).
