Diigo

The idea of being able to bookmark your favourite web pages is nothing new - so you can see your favourite pages wherever you are logged on. But what if you could save your favourite pages with annotations, 'sticky notes', highlight the bits of the page you found most useful, etc? That's the idea behind Diigo. I think. It's like a combination of an online 'library' and bookmarking. Looks really good actually, unfortunately the toolbar which you need to install in order to add items just point blank refuses to work on my computer. (Note: my computer is Not Happy at the moment. It works for everybody else) So I'm going to go and try it at home but for now, have a look at the introductory video at http://www.diigo.com/

Interesting, I haven't heard of Diigo. It sounds a bit like Google's +1. If you +1 a web page you can view it from your google+ account on any computer.

Thanks Niamh! Google+ is another thing I'd really like to check out. Phil Bradley has written some really helpful blog posts about it too. http://www.philbradley.typepad.com/
